IT
Archaeological Site·Educational, Immersive, Well Preserved
Located beneath Piazza Ferrari in Rimini, Domus del Chirurgo is a significant archaeological discovery dating back to the 2nd century AD. Once the home of a military doctor named Eutyches, the site was preserved for centuries under ash and rubble following a barbarian raid. Visitors can explore the ruins via elevated glass walkways, viewing beautifully detailed mosaic floors and the remains of an ancient surgery. The experience is enriched by informative displays in both Italian and English, and the affordable entry fee also grants access to the nearby City Museum, where many of the site's most precious artifacts are housed.
