National museum of archeological SIBARITIDE
Excellent museum
Here in the 7th century to B.C. the Archaeans founded a city destined to become one of the most powerful and prosperous in Magna Graecia. On this site over the centuries three cities were stratified: Sibari, Thuri, Copia.
The museum itinerary is divided into five rooms distributed on two levels, in which the significant finds from the excavations conducted in the Sibaritide are exhibited.
Has great multimedia rooms with videos and activities especially designed for children.
It is an amazing immersion in the Greek history and their attempt to create a democratic designed city in which cultural inclusivity was a priority.
Sibari was the most important and influential Greek city in the whole South of Italy at that time. Then they lost the war with Crotone. The museum is also a jewel, well done and with important pieces.
To me one of the best archeological museums in south of Italy
