Location
Turris Libisoni, today known as Porto Torres, is cited by the Latin encyclopaedist Plinio il Vecchio as being the only Sardinian colony and various evidence of said colony (later followed as a colony by Usellus) is confirmed by the inscriptions of the archaeological findings.
The Barbaric King's Palace
It's the most important bath building belonging to a creative tradition and is interesting not only for its structure, built in the I century B.C. and restored in the III century A.D., but also for the fact that its trachyte, slab-covered roads are still oriented on an orthogonal axis probably dating back to the colony's first settlement. One of these roads depicts a late Roman period of monumentality with the construction of a columned arcade.
Close to another bath building called "Pallottino Baths" are the remains of a public structure; the peristyled-arcade.
The Craftsmen's corner and the Necropolis
The craftsmen's quarter was on the outskirts of the ancient city; its remains, together with the vast Necropolises, have been found close to the Roman bridge, south and northeast of the city. Here you can find simple ground tombs (sometimes decorated with funerary mosaics), Capuchin's traditions as well as burials in sarcophagus' or true, vaulted burial buildings. These tombs and arcosolium demonstrate, along with the Latin inscriptions found, the noteworthy level reached by the city.
