The Roman rustic villa in Tramonti

In 1986, during the works for the construction of a road in Pucara (one of Tramonti villages), came to light the remains of a Roman rustic villa, dating from the I century BC, whose economy was essentially tied to viticulture.

Particularly the archaeologists found earthenware plains, walls, plasters, a cistern, many ceramic fragments and other archaeological remains. The rustic villa was alive until the VI century, in spite of the renovations due to landslide.

Later in the area was built an Early-Medieval necropolis, connected to a nearby church. The rustic villa of Tramonti is located in a place previously occupied by a human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age, the only one known up to know on the Amalfi Coast.

The site is currently closed and there are no ongoing archaeological excavations.
