The ancient city of Roselle is now an important archaeological site with Etruscan, Roman, and medieval remains, immersed in a wonderful landscape. The visitor's path runs along the imposing city walls, built by the Etruscans to defend the city in the 6th century BC, and leads to the famous house with an impluvium, one of the oldest examples of Etruscan housing, and to the Roman amphitheater from the 1st century AD, which still retains exceptional acoustics and offers a breathtaking view over the Grosseto plain, once the Prile lake, a large lagoon that allowed access to the sea. In the valley lies the forum of the Roman city with its sacred and civic buildings, a domus characterized by extraordinary mosaic floors, as well as a building dating back to the Etruscan city of the 7th century BC. The itinerary continues on the southern hill, which preserves the remains of a temple, a large cistern, and artisanal structures. Another path, leading to an extraordinary monumental oak tree, allows visitors to explore the complex of the Hadrianic baths, which over time were transformed into a church and then into a Lombard cemetery. Continuing along the decumanus, the visit concludes by admiring another thermal complex, built in the 4th century AD.
