Urbs Salvia Archaeological Area
Points of Interest in the Adjacent Areas
The Roman town of Urbis Salvia (40 hectares) is enclosed by great walls. It is still rich in monuments and it has an articulated urbanistic structure. As a matter of fact, Urbis Salvia was first a Roman town, and then a colony in the first years of the 1st century AD. It is possible to visit the Theater, one of the largest in the Marches region; the Amphitheater, with its charming oak crown running along its perimeter; the sacred area with the Temple and the Criptoportico, an underground passage decorated with frescoes. Other interesting structures are the Aqueduct Reservoir made by two parallel galleries and the "Edificio a nicchioni", on the plain where the Theater develops, with traces of frescoes. The State Archaeological Museum completes the visit.
