Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Ubicado en el corazón del casco antiguo, este museo alberga más de 3000 piezas que cuentan la historia de 4000 años de vida humana en esta zona. Los visitantes pueden ver desde ánforas antiguas de la época romana hasta herramientas para el procesamiento de aceitunas que se usaron hace varios siglos.
Destacados: Una de las piezas más impresionantes es un candil etrusco de bronce completamente conservado del siglo IV a.C., el único ejemplar de este tipo en el Adriático. Cuando lo sostienes en tus manos, sientes el peso de la historia: la aguja sigue marcando con precisión, como si se hubiera hecho ayer.
Consejos de expertos
- Bring a magnifying glass: some small items like Roman coins and ancient jewelry have incredible details that you can easily overlook.
- Make sure to climb up to the museum roof: the view of the Church of Saint Pellegrino and the harbor is the best in the entire city.
- Ask the staff to open the drawers in the ethnography room: they keep smaller exhibits there that are not displayed in the showcases.
- If you are interested in olive cultivation, ask for an oil tasting in the museum cellar, available with prior notice.
