Museo civico Ubaldo Formentini, History and archaeology museum in Castello San Giorgio, La Spezia, Italy.
The museum displays archaeological artifacts from prehistory to medieval times across multiple exhibition rooms within a 14th-century hilltop castle.
Founded in 1873 with naturalistic items from Cesare Podenzana, the museum expanded through archaeological findings during military arsenal excavations.
The collection includes statue stele from the 4th millennium BC, Roman sculptures, and medieval artifacts that represent the region's development.
The museum offers wheelchair access and maintains regular exhibitions on two levels, focusing on prehistoric finds below and Roman artifacts above.
Since 2005, children participate in the Paleofestival, an interactive educational program where they experience activities from ancient daily life.
