Parco archeologico Novi Ark, Archaeological site in Parco Novi Sad, Modena, Italy.

Parco archeologico Novi Ark is an open-air archaeological site and museum in Modena, covering about two hectares within Novi Sad park. It displays a 114-metre Roman cobblestone road, the outlines of two late-antique rural buildings with a well and fish-rearing pool, and fifteen funerary altars and stelae. Three hundred terracotta amphorae are exhibited in the underground car park.

Excavations from 2009 to 2011 uncovered hundreds of burials spanning different periods of history. The finds reveal layers of Roman graves alongside medieval burials and remains linked to a catastrophic epidemic.

Fifteen funerary altars and stelae from the imperial necropolis line the visitor path beside the re-laid Roman road. The site also keeps the name Mutina alive: information panels describe the ancient city as Mutina floridissima et splendidissima, one of the leading towns of the Po plain.

The archaeological remains are displayed at ground level within Novi Sad park, while 300 terracotta amphorae are exhibited in the underground NoviPark garage. The Roman road runs north-south along the short axis of the former parade ground, with fifteen funerary altars and stelae arranged alongside a visiting path. The site is often used for the weekly local market and is a transit area; visitors should stay aware of their surroundings.

The entire excavation area was lifted five meters from its original depth and relocated to the surface to make room for a modern park. This unusual engineering feat allowed ancient structures to be preserved while repurposing the land.
