Roman archaeological area in the heart of Benevento

Behind the Duomo di Benevento (Benevento Cathedral) there is the city area that once housed the ancient Roman Court, with its arch of Sacrament of Benevento dating back to the 1st – 2nd century AD, perfectly preserved in its original shape, leading to the archaeological area of the same name.

SACRAMENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL AREA

The archaeological area that includes the arch of Sacrament of Benevento, in via Carlo Torre, is what remains of the ancient Roman thermal baths discovered during the arch renovation.

The area is always open and there is no admission fee: the iron boardwalks passing through the remains will lead you back to the Roman period.
