Domus del Chirurgo
The remains of a 3rd-century Roman surgeon's house, where more than 150 surgical instruments and fine mosaics were unearthed; open to visitors under a glass roof.
The site was discovered in 1989 beneath Piazza Ferrari. The house was destroyed by fire in the mid-3rd century, which preserved a large number of medical instruments, making it one of the most complete surgical instrument finds in the Roman world. You can walk along a glass walkway overlooking the mosaic floors. Some instruments are displayed in the nearby Civic Museum, and a combined ticket is good value. It is closed on Mondays and is about a 5-minute walk from the arch.
