Palazzo Simi, Archaeological museum in Old Town Bari, Italy
The Palazzo Simi exhibits numerous archaeological artifacts across multiple floors, including ancient coins, ceramics, and carved stones from regional excavations.
The structure, dating from the 1500s, stands upon layers of history including a Byzantine church and Roman-era foundations three meters below ground level.
The museum displays collections of regional funerary vases and everyday objects that represent the continuous human presence in Puglia through different civilizations.
Located near the Cathedral of San Sabino, the museum offers free admission and contains three preserved Byzantine apses in its basement section.
Visitors can examine an ancient Roman residence with original flooring and a preserved oven, discovered during archaeological excavations beneath the palace.
