Some places to visit

  • Mitreo Sacellum delle Tre Navate

    The Mithraeum in the Chapel of the Three Naves was not linked to the cult of Mithras until recently because of a mosaic showing a pig, in the belief that it was an animal unfit for consumption in a temple of Eastern origin.

     
  • Mitreo di Santa Maria Capua Vetere

    The Mithraeum of Santa Maria Capua Vetere preserves frescoes depicting several scenes of the initiation rites.

     
  • Mount Nemrut Dağı

    Mount Nemrut or Nemrud is one of the highest peaks in the eastern Taurus Mountains, southeastern Turkey. On its summit large statues stand around what is supposed to be a royal tomb from the 1st century BC.
