Archeological Museum La Civitella

The Archaeological Museum La Civitella in Chieti displays artifacts from the ancient history of the Abruzzo region across several exhibition halls. Modern corridors and glass connections link the different areas and provide space for the extensive collection.

The museum was founded in 2000 to gather and display finds from the ancient cultures of Abruzzo. It preserves the story of different peoples who lived in this region across many centuries.

The displays show artifacts from the daily lives of ancient communities in the region, from early settlements through the Roman period. You see the objects these people actually used and how their way of living changed over time.

The museum spreads across multiple levels, and signs help visitors navigate the space. Labels on the displays are in both Italian and English, making it easier to understand the exhibits.

The museum building incorporates remains of an ancient Roman amphitheater that lies beneath the structure. This connection between the modern museum and the ancient ruins creates a direct experience of history.
