National Archaeological Museum

The National Archaeological Museum spans three floors within Villa Cassis Faraone, displaying extensive collections of Roman artifacts, statues, household items, and decorative pieces.

Established in 1882, the museum originated from Gian Domenico Bertoli's private collection, which was previously exhibited at the Basilica of Aquileia's baptistery since 1807.

The museum exhibits numerous mosaics, inscriptions, and burial monuments throughout its galleries, documenting the social practices and religious customs of Roman colonists.

The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM, with general admission at 7 euros and reduced rates for European citizens aged 18-25.

The collection includes rare items such as glass bottles shaped like dates, gold coins, and military equipment, reflecting Aquileia's position as a Mediterranean trade center.
