The Tor de 'Schavi Mausoleum is part of the archaeological park of Villa Gordiani, and its history dates back to the time of Constantine. The tomb ruins are just a fragment of an unusual ancient building. Today, two-story buildings intended for ritual burial are decorated with wild bushes, a beautiful fig tree and the sign 'danger'.
Villa Gordiani was the majestic residence of the imperial family from which Gordian I, Gordian II and Gordian III came. In ancient times, the complex also included a basilica and a nymphaeum. The area was decorated with a portico with over 200 columns made of various stones.
Tor de 'Schavi from Italian is translated as' slave tower'. In fact, this title comes from the surname Vincenzo Rossi dello Schiavo, who in the second half 16th century became the owner of the object.
