These extensive remains of the Roman period are among the most representative in the whole of Sicily. They consist of a long brick wall dating from the Imperial age, which was restored only in 1943. The Restoration also brought to light part of the original pavement. Although these Roman remains, running parallel to the upper stretch of Corsa Umbertico, are aesthetically diminished by the row of houses built above them, the monumental row of the 18 larger niches is nonetheless remarkable.*
