A 6.4 magnitude earthquake in 2020 damaged the town hall in Sisak, a city in central Croatia. During repair and renovation of the hall, construction uncovered Roman ruins just below the town hall's basement.
The discovered ruins belonged to a building of diameter 65 feet. Archaeologists believe that these ruins might have been a small theatre or an odeon.
The modern city Sisak (then known as Siscia) was founded as a Roman military encampment around 35 BC and later grew into an important administrative and economic hub. This discovery has been described as "valuable and a new glimpse into the ancient Roman city of Siscia."
