The archaeological excavation was carried on between 1988 and 2004 under the medieval loggia situated under the square, bringing to light a section of the cryptoporticus that surrounded the temple on three sides, the remains of an ice-house, and underground space and the foundation of a medieval tower-house.[1]
The archaeological area of Corte Sgarzerie constitutes the only access point to the Capitolium open to the public.
