The Roman Ocriculum
In addition to Carsulae, Ocriculum is one of the most important archaeological sites in the region. The imposing remains of the Roman city of Ocriculum (not far from present-day Otricoli) can today be visited along a route in an area of about 11 hectares along the Tiber. You can see temples, spas (2nd century BC), the theater (1st century BC) and numerous tombs. Many of the Otricoli finds are found in the Vatican Museums, including the beautiful floor mosaic from the Baths and Jupiter from Otricoli.
Not far from the town hall is a museum with finds from the archaeological site.
