Museo Archeologico Nazionale G. Carettoni di Cassino
Museo Archeologico Nazionale G. Carettoni di Cassino, National Archaeological Museum in Cassino, Italy
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale G. Carettoni di Cassino is a national museum in Cassino displaying archaeological findings from the ancient Roman city of Casinum, distributed across three exhibition halls and a lapidarium containing architectural fragments. The collections show objects from different periods, from early settlement to Roman times, documenting the long-term development of the region.
The museum opened in 1979 and received its name in 2003 in honor of archaeologist Gianfilippo Carettoni, who conducted important research on the ancient city of Casinum. His scholarly work helped deepen understanding of Roman settlement in this area.
The first room displays Iron Age objects and pottery from a burial ground near the amphitheater, revealing how people lived in this area before the Romans arrived. These finds help visitors understand the layers of settlement that shaped the location over centuries.
The museum is located in Cassino and opens daily with various entry points and clear signage to find the exhibition areas. The lapidarium garden provides a pleasant way to view objects in a relaxed outdoor setting.
The garden entrance features underground vaulted chambers from Roman times that were discovered during museum construction and now house collections of inscriptions. These chambers are a rare example of Roman building techniques that survived beneath the modern museum.
