As symbol of Roman Tridentum, the S.A.S.S. - Spazio Archeologico Sotterraneo del Sas (Sas Underground Archaeological Space) safeguards the remains of a quarter of the Roman city in a fascinating and evocative setting, as a result of archaeological excavations carried out during the restoration and extension of the Social Theatre. The large area consists of public and private spaces and buildings: a long stretch of the city wall, a large segment of road paved with large slabs of local red stone, sectors of houses with mosaic floors, rooms with underfloor heating systems, courtyards, a perfectly preserved well and a glassmaker's workshop.

The site also hosts the exhibition "Ostriche e vino. In cucina con gli antichi romani" (Oysters and wine. Cooking and the ancient Romans) which reveals interesting facts and details about food culture in ancient times.

Booking is not required, but access to the site will be in accordance with the foreseen measures to ensure the safety of staff and visitors, who must wear a face covering and respect social distancing.
