Ancient Opitergium (Oderzo)

The trip will lead you to discover the ancient town, located along the guiding which in the past connected the Venetian gulf to the Piave valley. It was founded during the 10th century B.C. and it had a very rich history efficiently demonstrated through the objects shown at the Civic Museum Eno Bellis and through the remains visible in the modern town center. The tracks of pre-Roman settlement, which are not present in the territory anymore, have been collected at the Civic Museum. In its proto-historic section it is possible to understand the village evolution from the 10th century up to the Roman age thanks to extraordinary valuable finds (as for example the one coming from Via Savonarola and Via dei Mosaici recent excavations, where real artisans’ districts had been discovered). On the contrary the Roman Opitergium can be visited both at the Museum and in the town by walking among its ruins: walls (in the area of the ex-prison), roads (piazza Castello), buildings (via dei Mosaici e via Mazzini) and Forum square (via Mazzini).
