The Ocriculum archaeological area has rightly been defined as 'a land strip at the Umbria's gates': a land full of history, beauty and nature. Ocriculum, from a small Umbrian centre, became an important Roman municipium in the 3rd century B.C., registered in the VI Regio. Its wealth depended on the presence of the port and the crossing of the Via Flaminia. The city probably extended over 36 hectares. The Roman municipium remains of the theatre, amphitheatre, large buildings, nymphaea, large funerary monuments and a well-preserved section of the ancient Via Flaminia.

The ancient Ocriculum centre, with its 36 km of extension, represents one of the most flourishing Roman municipalities in the Umbria Region. The area is set within an extremely fascinating naturalistic context, located along the banks of the Tiber river. We can only imagine, through the observation of its remains, the wealth and importance that this city held throughout the Roman era. Through a real excursion, immersed in the monuments of history and uncontaminated vegetation, we can retrace the events that led to its discovery, reconstruct the various historical phases of the municipality and imagine what this flourishing centre must have been like during the Imperial Age.
