Archaeological Park of Urbs Salvia is located in the municipality Urbisaglia in the Italian region Marche. It is the largest archaeological Park in the region.

The ancient city of Urbs Salvia was founded as a Roman colony in the 2nd century B. C. It was here were born some of the most important figures of the Roman Empire – for example, the Consul Fufi Geminus and General Lucius Flavius Bassus. In the 5th century the city was sacked by the Visigoths, and then for several years suffered from earthquakes and looting by warlike tribes. The decline of the Urbs Salvia, in his "divine Comedy" was described by the great Dante.

Today the ruins of this ancient city protected under the archaeological Park, are of exceptional scientific interest and are a major tourist attraction Marche. A visit to the Park usually begins with a visit to the archaeological Museum, which houses the epigraphs, statues and portraits, was found during excavations in Urbisaglia from the mid 18th century. Immediately outside the medieval city walls at the highest point you can see a huge receptacle for the collection and purification of water with 1, 5 km long Roman aqueduct. The reservoir consists of two interconnected barrel-vaulted tunnels, the inner walls of which are covered with hydraulic mortar. Each tunnel is 51 meters in length, 2, 9 meters wide and a capacity of about a thousand cubic meters of water.

Below the reservoir was located an impressive amphitheatre, built in 23 BC by the Hellenistic model. To this day preserved Cavea – auditorium, divided into three rows of seats, a corridor with steps leading to a small temple, and the lower part of the scene. Behind the scenes you can see an artificial terrace that once was framed by a colonnade.

At the foot of the hill was the temple complex – it was conveniently located along Salarii Gallici, the main communication arteries Piceno. The facade of the main temple, dedicated to Salus Augusto, was decorated with six columns. Remained only a portion of the pedestal. And on the perimeter of the temple was surrounded by a roofed gallery with frescoes in Pompeian style. Next to the main temple stood another, smaller, and behind it was a territory, which is probably used for ritual purposes.
