Brigata of Catanzaro Historical Military Museum

The Brigata of Catanzaro Historical Military Museum is a two-floor building displaying military objects spanning several centuries. The lower level focuses on the Napoleonic period, while the upper level presents artifacts from the twentieth century.

The museum was founded by the Province of Catanzaro and opened in April 2007 to preserve military history. The collection includes weapons, uniforms, and documents from the Napoleonic era through World War II.

The collection displays military decorations from different periods, reflecting recognition of courage and service across centuries. Visitors can see how these honors held meaning in the local story.

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs that focus on military history. School groups can arrange special visit times, and tours help visitors understand the displayed objects better.

Inside the museum sits a detailed miniature model at 1:32 scale showing a cavalry charge from a famous battle. This handcrafted diorama displays European military tactics with remarkable precision.
