Sotterranei in Via San Paolo alla Regola

Description:

• The four-story Palazzetto degli Specchi, two levels of which are underground, was built during the imperial period. The lowest level was probably built parallel to the river with an open court before it. The residents were mostly people of modest means who worked at the port or in the markets. A washing area and various medieval storerooms for amphoras are still visible. A pile of pig teeth from the 6th century suggests that the building also contained a slaughterhouse.
