Museo archeologico nazionale

The Museo archeologico nazionale in Sarsina is an archaeological museum displaying Roman finds, inscriptions, and mosaics housed in a historical building in Emilia-Romagna. The collection spans two floors and presents objects from different periods of Roman settlement in the region.

The museum's collection began in 1850 and expanded between 1927 and 1939 following major discoveries from the Roman necropolis at Pian di Bezzo. This burial ground provided many of the ancient objects on display today.

The museum displays Roman inscriptions and architectural pieces that reflect how people lived in this ancient settlement. Visitors can see how residents decorated their homes and what messages they left carved in stone.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday with split hours: morning until 14:00 and afternoon starting at 13:30. Both floors are relatively easy to explore, and the collection can be viewed in a couple of hours.

The museum preserves the Mausoleum of Rufo, a square structure from the 1st century BC that offers insight into Roman burial practices. This exceptional find shows how wealthy Romans honored their dead and impressed their family legacy.
