Origins and Roman Foundations

The site of Piazza Martiri della Libertà traces its roots to the ancient Roman city of Tadinum, founded along the Via Flaminia in the 3rd century BCE. As one of the most important Roman colonies in Umbria, Tadinum featured a forum at its heart—a rectangular public square surrounded by porticoes, administrative buildings, and temples. Modern archaeological excavations beneath the piazza have uncovered segments of the original Roman pavement (opus tessellatum) and remnants of a water drainage system, highlighting the advanced urban engineering and hydraulic planning characteristic of Roman civic centers. These discoveries attract history enthusiasts searching for “Gualdo Tadino Roman ruins,” “Tadinum archaeology tours,” and “Umbria ancient sites.”
