At this point the foundations of a villa rustica from the 2nd to 3rd century BC can be seen. Tucked away in the forest and next to a busy motorway, the site cannot be reached immediately or directly by car.

Hiking

The Villa Rustica was discovered during road construction in the 1970s. Today the main road here makes a lot of noise in this archaeologically interesting place. Unfortunately, the area is quite overgrown and the remains of foundations and soil are overgrown. There is also no information as to what the overall ensemble of the court looked like. But an interesting remnant of a well. In short, you have to be quite interested in Roman times to enjoy this place.
