Priamar, Archaeological museum in Priamar Fortress, Savona, Italy.
The museum in Priamar Fortress displays archaeological finds from excavations across the Savona region since the 1950s. Collections are spread across two floors and include ceramic, glass, and marble pieces from different historical periods.
Priamar was built as a fortress in the Middle Ages to defend the port of Savona. Archaeological investigations starting in the 1950s revealed layers of settlement spanning from the Bronze Age through medieval times.
The marble reliefs and glass pieces on display show how trade networks connected this port city to other Mediterranean communities over centuries. Visitors can see the kinds of objects that traveled along sea routes, reflecting the region's role as a trading hub.
Accessing the fortress and museum requires climbing stairs and walking on uneven paths. Visitors should arrive in the morning during warmer months to avoid intense sun and see the displays more clearly.
The ground floor features an open excavation area where sections of a Byzantine necropolis remain visible. This rare chance to see archaeological layers in place makes a visit particularly educational.
