Polveriera Guzman, Archaeological museum in Orbetello, Italy.
The Polveriera Guzman building features sturdy stone walls, large rectangular windows, and architectural elements characteristic of 17th-century military construction techniques.
Ferdinand de Grunenbergh designed this military gunpowder warehouse in 1692, naming it after the Spanish Viceroy Enrique de Guzmán who oversaw regional fortifications.
The museum displays Etruscan artifacts including bronze mirrors, gold ornaments, and ceramics discovered in excavations throughout the Orbetello region since the 1800s.
Located on Via Mura di Levante 3, the museum offers guided tours, educational activities, and maintains a bookshop for visitors interested in local archaeology.
The museum houses a bronze mirror with an Etruscan inscription reading 'Cathesan,' providing direct evidence of ancient linguistic practices in the region.
