Hidden Treasures: The Archaeological Area San Martino
<p>An easy walk to the San Martino Archaeological Area near Campi by Riva del Garda</p> <p> </p>
<p>The <strong><strong>archeological site San Martino</strong></strong> is one of the most important of Garda Trentino. Excavations uncovered a place of worship dating back to Pre-Roman times (3rd- 1st century B.C.) which in the middle of the first century B.C. was converted into a Roman sanctuary (1st century B.C. - 4th century A.D.), with the addition of a monumental staircase which can still be used today. This building, perched at the edge of the cliff, offers a breathtaking view over the towns beneath. Another few minutes and you come to the ruins of a village abandoned due to fire in the 8th century A.D. Here you can just make out the ruins of a little church dedicated to San Martino (8th -18th century A.D.)</p>
