Domus del Chirurgo
About
Nestled in the historic heart of Rimini, the Domus del Chirurgo offers visitors a remarkable window into Roman life and ancient medical practice. The 700‑square‑meter site, uncovered in 1989 and opened to the public in 2007, greets guests with a glass‑roofed walkway that protects the exposed ruins while inviting the eye on its mosaics, frescoes, and the extraordinary collection of 150 surgical instruments. The domus showcases the everyday comforts of a privileged Roman household—mosaics depicting mythic scenes, ornate plasterwork, and the now‑translated name of its enigmatic owner, the military physician Eutyches. Alongside the archaeological wonders, the complex opens the door to the adjacent City Museum of Rimini, where the recovered artifacts are displayed and the story of the site comes to life. A quick visit takes around an hour, perfect for a solo stroll or a family outing, and the site’s accessibility features—glass‑enforced walkways and a ramp—ensure that people of all mobility levels can experience this unique glimpse of antiquity.
