Roman Necropolis of Voghenza
Prices
Only visible from the outside
Voghenza was a Roman city called Vicus Aventinus or Vico Habentia: an administrative hub of vast imperial properties.
Excavations have brought to light a burial and monumental area of a certain significance that can be dated between the middle of the 1st to the 3rd century A.D.
The materials found consist of common pottery, oil-lamps, glass balm containers and amber, metal, gold, onyx and bone objects. Some of these finds are on display in the Archaeological Museum of Belriguardo.
Among the 67 burial spots there are the big marble sarcophagus of Ulpia Pusinnica and two funeral enclosures with engraved tombs.
Located just outside the inhabited centre, the necropolis is not accessible for visits, but it is visible from Via Dante Alighieri.
