The Villa Romana del Torchio was unearthed in 2006 and is one of the few that is preserved in the Phlegraean Fields.
The building has a quadrangular layout, preceded by a courtyard with a portico on pillars.
Presumably built in the last years of the second century. to. C., the structure has various construction phases and subsequent modifications, which testify to a continuity of life up to the IV-V century. d. C.
The discovery in some rooms of the villa of a torcularium and a wine cellar, allows us to hypothesize that the building was a center of wine production that had allowed the owners to enrich themselves, a hypothesis supported by the presence of a substantial number of coins found.
