ARCHEOVISIT TO THE ANCIENT HARBOUR of PAGLIANO
A narrow strip of land at the confluence of the Tiber and the Paglia rivers is located within the boundaries of the Tenuta di Corbara, known in the past tank to the emergence of archeological finds.
At the end of 1800 the Banca Romana at the time owner of the land, financed a dig in which a series of interconnected rooms were uncovered. Only a few were more thoroughly investigated and the basic structural and the basic structural system of the complex, in cement masonry, much of which faced in “opus reticulatum”, was identified.
The excavations were unfortunately subsequently interrupted and in 1930 a project for their restoration was never carried out. Thereafter only partial attempts at clearing were undertaken.
Recently tank to a series of coincidences the archeological site has finally been restored to public enjoyment.
The Soprintendenza Archeologica per l’Umbria, thank to financing supplied by Ministry of Cultural Assets undertook an organic investigation of the site beginning with the southern zone of the settlement.
Operations have so far brought to light a section that was probably utilitarian in its purpose and a series of structures of hydraulic nature, including a basin still protected by a niche.
Thanks to there procedures, the archeological site is now open to the public and tank to financing there is hope of completely salvaging the entire complex.
To visit the site please ask to the Reception.
