Grotta dell’Arsenale

The Grotta dell’Arsenale is located below the Gardens of Augustus just 8 meters above sea level. The name itself makes us understand that it must have always been used as a depot and repairs of boats in the Roman period up to the Second World War.

As a Roman nymphaeum for the fulfillment of religious rites in the Tiberian era

At the bottom of the Grotto, on the right side, you can see the presence of a brick cladding that suggests the presence of a tank used for collecting water from a natural source.

Today it can be admired by bathers, who are blessed to stop on those rocks thirsting for history and beauty.
