Medieval sites near Fiscaglia

Magnetic and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were carried out at three archaeological sites in the municipality of Fiscaglia in cooperation with SOT Prospecció Arqueològica. The investigations followed earlier magnetic measurements conducted in 2021 and focused on medieval and post-medieval remains along the Po di Volano.

At the site of Tieni, around 3,000 m² were surveyed, leading to the identification of anomalies that support the location of a lost second tower about 175 m from the preserved one. GPR surveys also revealed the ground plan of the medieval church of San Marco di Valcesura and subsurface foundations around the Santuario Madonna della Corba, first mentioned in the 15th century and rebuilt in 1910.
