Museo Civico di Accadia

A few steps from the picturesque Rione Fossi is the city museum.

The Municipal Museum of Accadia occupies some rooms on the ground floor of the eighteenth-century Palazzo Vassalli, in Via Borgo, whose facade is characterized by a beautiful arched loggia.

The Museum houses archaeological finds from prehistory to the Middle Ages and an ethnographic section dedicated to rural civilization.

The classical archaeological collection consists of steles, stones, vases, statuettes and tools. Among the finds of the Middle Ages remarkable the two statues of Saints Peter and Paul of the Byzantine period, coming from the destroyed Church of Rione Fossi.

The ethnographic section finally tells the pre-industrial society through an articulated exhibition of testimonies of peasant and artisan civilization.
