National Archaeological Museum “La Civitella”, Chieti

The museum is located within the archaeological park of the Roman amphitheater, built in the area that until twenty years ago housed the municipal stadium. The new institution, inaugurated on November 1, 20011, displays archaeological materials and documents useful for reconstructing the birth and development of the city of Chieti.

The building, with discreet and modern architecture, constitutes in the heart of the old city a stimulus for urban rehabilitation and an opportunity for cultural development.

The layout highlights the exhibited material through multimedia stations and highly effective educational panels; the exhibition halls are characterized by a presentation of modern conception.

Thanks to the careful use of sounds and music, projected images and lights, and reconstructions, the La Civitella Museum offers the visitor a unique, evocative, and unforgettable experience, involving body and mind at the same time.

The scientific tour proposes three different modes of approach that can be carried out in a single visit:
