The Archaeological Park of Saint Vincenzino in Cecina

The Archaeological Park of Saint Vincenzino is placed in the homonymous resort and can be reached from Cecina travelling on the Ginori street towards the homonymous river.

The park hosts the remains of Villa Albino Cecina testifying the attending of the town of Cecina during Roman Age.

Particularly interesting is the water tank found in the underground of the villa. By observing the structure of the tank is possible to understand the Roman techniques used to pick the rainwater up.

The tank was used to pick the rainwater up that from the roofs of the villa went, through proper canals, where the water was filtered and purified, to be leaded to the tank capacious 540 cube metres.

The tank, result of the Roman skill, today is in a perfect condition of preservation.
