Incredible place, amazing how modern buildings have been incorporated with these polygonal walls. Fantastic aerial views, thanks for another great interesting video Hugh!
The tiny blocks aren't polygonal walls, and so the pavement. The first is a classic roman "opus reticulatum". Cheers from Lombardy, Italy (we're living a very difficult moment here, now)

Great video of a amazing place.
I hope when the plague will over to do more videos about the ancient sites of Italy.
Must be nice to stroll around a seemingly abandoned Italian town in middle of a plague - and have the history and ruins all to yourself. Haha
Chuck It was filmed last year!
MegalithomaniaUK Haha 👍
The 'shaped' polygonal wall reminded me of a crocodile ... but they don't have those in Italy? Maybe a dragon? Are you safe Hugh?
Are there any Knubs on the stone work?
Not at this site, but seen at some others in Italy and Sardinia
@@MegalithomaniaUK ....Thanks for the reply. I find them all over the world , I wll still look at the sanctuary.
I think they maybe only on the very hard granite blocks like Basalt.
Try to visit Alatri, Arpino, Segni, Ferrentino, Segni, Verola, there you can find huge polygonal or cyclonic walls.

I guess this video was shot months ago, am I correct?
Davide Pelamatti Correct!
@@MegalithomaniaUK Thank you for the reply. These are scary days, stay smart and safe. Ciao!
Hi there - Are you in Italy right now? This doesn't seem like a good time...
bba bba I’m not. We filmed it last year so nowhere near Italy now!
Head Down..... Chin Up .... 1ness
👍
If it were Basalt or other hard granites it would look a lot cleaner and a tighter fitting than this.
