Taverna ducale, Medieval civil building museum in Popoli, Italy.

Taverna Ducale is a 14th-century palazzetto in Popoli Terme, once belonging to the Cantelmo family, now a museum. Its facade carries a plaque recalling its origin as a casa-bottega for collecting tithes. The permanent collection of stone materials includes two headless Roman statues, a 1st-century pagan altar, a column with an Ionic capital, a limestone stele of the 1st–2nd century AD, and two 16th-century reliefs showing the Almighty and the Announcing Angel.

The building was erected in the second half of the 14th century as a "casa-bottega" for the Cantelmo family, to collect tithes on the produce of their estates, as a plaque on the facade recalls. It later became a tavern for buyers and wayfarers, with upper-floor rooms used as an inn. In 1875 Francesco Forniti bought it and used it as a stable before it fell into disuse and was acquired by the Ministry of Public Education.

The building sits on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi within easy walking distance from the town center. Admission is free and the displays are arranged to guide visitors through the different archaeological periods on view.
