The complex of Roman furnaces visible near Cesenatico, in Ca’ Turci (or Turchi), is very extensive. Here worked one of the most important ceramic kilns of the Romagna coast, next to which there was also a large rustic villa. It is a plant of truly considerable size that produced materials of all kinds -statues included- in a period of time between the second century BC and the beginning of the first century AD. At present, from the outside of the fence, two ovens (with a fire chamber equipped with a prefurnio) and part of the surrounding structures, made of brick and sun-baked bricks, can be seen. Here were produced, in a first phase, terracotta statues and decorative elements and later wine amphorae.
