Despite it’s impressive history, there’s very little to see here which disappointed us. There are some minor ruins and a small section of Roman road, but the amphitheater area is surrounded by a fence with a locked gate. We couldn’t find any way inside other than climbing the fence which we didn’t try. If you take the path circling to the right and keep going, eventually you will get a side view of the small amphitheater. If you have a zoom lens, you can get a decent photo. The ruins are located in a park used by local walkers and joggers. A large hillside next to the ruin has been burned completely black. There’s car parking nearby then a short walk to the ruins. No entrance fee.

If you love ancient sites, don't miss Tusculum. This ancient city in the Castelli Romani area sits on the top of a hill overlooking Rome. Tusculum has a rich significance in Roman history. There are many escavated areas including a theater, roads, and the specatcular sanctuary to transhumanism on the hillside. Used by locals for the walking trails, this site continues to be escavated as time and money allow.

The presence of the city of Tusculum is attested from the 8th century BC.
It was burned and razed to the ground on April 17th 1191 by the troops of the City of Rome and the emperor Henry IV with the approval of Pope Celestine III.
The destruction completely eliminated the medieval urban layer of Tusculum, but the ancient Roman one was preserved.
Come and see how the archaeological excavations are bringing to light the remains of one of the most important cities of Lazio of 2700 years ago!

Da Roma prendere il GRA direzione Napoli, uscire a Monte Porzio Catone, salire al paese e seguire le indicazioni.
