Museo nazionale di Santa Maria delle Monache

The museum displays Roman stone pieces, architectural fragments, and votive altars within a monumental complex of historical significance in central Isernia.

The museum opened its doors in 1934 and houses artifacts from both the Republican and Imperial periods of Roman history found in the region.

The collection includes a relief depicting the Battle of Issus, large blocks showing gladiators, and a telamone figure from the 1st century BC.

The museum opens from Tuesday through Sunday between 08:15 and 13:45, with guided tours available through the archaeological collections and exhibits.

Two honorary bases for statues remain in the museum, one dedicated to Sesto Apuleio from 14 AD and another to municipal leader Caio Spetu Muleio.
