La Ciriola

Carsulae

Near the Parco della Fonte di Sangemini (Park of Sangemini Springs), the pre-Roman city of Carsulae appears today as a mysterious abandoned town. Built by the ancient Via Flaminia, its origins, probably Celtic, are still unknown. Nevertheless, it may be considered as a typical Roman municipium, closed in the North by a threefold arch. Today are recognizable the small area of the forum with several buildings, not all of them identifiable, the basilica with access to the Via Flaminia, two twin tetra-style temples ,the theatre, entirely rebuilt, the amphitheatre, as well as other structures like private houses, shops and monumental tombs.

Distance: ca. 33 km.
