Museo Paludi di Celano

The Museo Paludi di Celano spans 5000 square meters and contains exhibition spaces, restoration laboratories, and conference facilities within its underground structure.

Archaeological excavations in 1984 revealed a pile-dwelling settlement dating back 3700 years, leading to the museum's establishment and opening in 1999.

The museum houses numerous artifacts from the Paleolithic period to the 1st century BC, documenting the evolution of human settlements in Marsica.

Access to the museum is free, and visitors can contact the institution at +39-0863-790357 or museopaludi.celano@beniculturali.it for additional information.

An artificial marsh adjacent to the museum recreates scenes from the original pile-dwelling village, with oak pole remains visible along the elevated walkway.
