Museo delle Mura, Historical park museum at Porta San Sebastiano, Italy
The Museum of the Walls occupies a section of the Aurelian Wall, featuring exhibits about Roman fortification systems through archaeological findings and architectural models.
In 1990, the museum opened its doors in the Porta San Sebastiano gate structure, which served as a strategic defensive point along the ancient Appian Way.
The museum displays construction methods from different periods through detailed models, original artifacts, and mosaics that represent Roman military architecture.
Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday between 09:00 and 14:00, with guided tours available by reservation at Via di Porta San Sebastiano 18.
The museum includes a walkable 350-meter section of the original Aurelian Wall, complete with arrow slits and ancient Roman defensive features.
