Antiquarium di via del Seminario

The Antiquarium is set up in the place where, between 1976 and 1977, the remains of the Roman aqueduct from Val Rosandra were found, one of the three that served the Roman city of Tergeste, dating back to the first century. d.C .. It preserves a section of the conduit that originally ran underground, with an internal coating in opus signinum that made it waterproof; in the Antiquarium you can see a segment of the canal and one of the five inspection wells on the vault of the pipeline, as well as the archaeological material found in the excavations. The remains of a Roman villa have also been found upstream of the aqueduct.

For archaeologists. Unfortunately during my visit closed and no indication of the opening times. The view through the dirty windows is not a substitute for the visit
