Abstract
In 2013 the works for the construction of the new sewerage network in Civita Castellana allowed the "rediscovery" of the “Ninfeo Rosa”, sacred area discovered in 1873 in the valley of the Fosso of the Cappuccini in the suburbs of Falerii Veteres. The famous sacred areas of Celle and Sassi Caduti are situated near the confluence of the Fosso dei Cappuccini in the Rio Maggiore and the aforementioned "Ninfeo Rosa" is located in an intermediate position between them. Its vestiges and its placement have been gradually forgotten. The votive materials recovered in the nineteenth century attest the continuity of use of sanctuary since the Archaic period until the Imperial period, while the discovery of prehistoric artefacts shows that the area was already frequented in very ancient times. The Ninfeo Rosa, although it was not directly affected by the new sewer system, with the opportunity has been cleaned from the infesting vegetation and therefore for the first time it was possible to examine it in its fullness and insert it in ancient topographic context.
