Archaeology of Oristano

• S.Salvatore Hypogeum - Cabras
  
  
  The S.Salvatore Hypogeum is an underground sanctuary, probably of Nuragic origin, which was restructured in the Roman era and later used as a Christian place of worship.
  
  It stands under a small church and access is from a narrow staircase in the floor at the bottom of which there are two rectangular rooms. At the far end of the Hypogeum there is a circular room covered with a kind or dome, where there is a well for water. Visitors can still admire the marvellous wall paintings and inscriptions which decorate the chambers.
  

• The Forum Traiani Thermal Baths - Fordongianus
  
  
  Fordongianus is the most important Roman city in the interior of the island. During the period of the barbarian invasions the Romans transformed the settlement into a fortified outpost: Forum Traiani.
  
  The real jewel of Fordongianus are the Roman baths. Today the rectangular pool still collects the hot spring water from the volcano, which is slightly radioactive and maintain a temperature of about 50° C. Around the pool there are smaller baths and chambers built in trachyte blocks. Although the mosaic floor has been destroyed, visitors can admire the foundations of a two-bath Frigidarium, a Tepidarium and a Calidarium.

  This is an early Christian and early Medieval complex which was used for religious and funeral rites. Among the places of worship there is the Basilica, with a central nave and two side aisles, and the Baptistery. Another small Baptistery stood near the main funeral area. The tombs date back to different historic periods, from the III to the IX century A.D.
