Archaeological Museum of Nicopolis, Archaeological museum in Nicopolis, Greece
The Archaeological Museum of Nicopolis houses more than 1,100 artifacts from ancient Greek and Roman times across multiple galleries. The collections include pottery, sculptures, coins, and everyday objects that document life in this ancient port city.
The museum was founded in 1913 and preserves the history of the city that Emperor Augustus established after a decisive naval battle. Following damage during World War II and several relocations, it moved to its current building in 2009.
The permanent exhibition displays sculptures, pottery, and inscriptions that reveal how daily life unfolded in the ancient city. You can see how trade and religious practices shaped the community.
The museum is located north of Preveza and is accessible by foot or car from the town center. Plan enough time to walk through the different galleries at a comfortable pace.
A notable feature is a marble portrait of General Agrippa, who commanded the naval battle that led to the city's founding. The collection also includes a Roman copy of a Minerva statue from the 4th century BC, showing the artistic connections of that era.
