CASTELLO DUCALE - MUSEO ARCHEOLOGICO

Built in the 13th century under Frederick II, the castle was refurbished in the Renaissance style in the 16th century. Today it houses an archaeological museum that traces the occupation of the territory in the protohistoric and archaic periods, based on objects discovered during excavations carried out on the Cimitero Vecchio hill. The excavations revealed the presence of an important Iron Age necropolis (late 9th-7th century B.C.), whose tombs contained rich furnishings.
