Sotto la piazza

An ordinary piazza, large enough to be used for concerts and festivals throughout the year, cafés, shops and a large theater line the perimeter of Piazza Battisti in Trento. There is, however, one unusual feature of this piazza - stairs!

Below lie the ruins of Tridentum, the roman city that occupied this part of the region almost 2000 years ago. Descending the stairs, hints of the old city come into view - stretches of city walls and stairways, large mosaics and parts of old buildings. Among ruins and along old stone roads, a walk into the past is just under the piazza.
