During a major renovation of the 16th-century Palazzo Valentini in 2005, the remains of two ancient Roman villas, thermal baths, and a public building—likely a temple—were uncovered beneath the palace. The site, known as Le Domus Romane di Palazzo Valentini, remained buried for centuries, leading to its remarkable preservation. Visitors can explore original staircases, vibrant frescoes, intricate mosaics, and inlaid marble floors through a multimedia tour, offering a vivid glimpse into the lives of ancient Romans.
