Carcere Borbonico, Historical civil building museum in Avellino, Italy
The Carcere Borbonico features a hexagonal structure with five radiating wings, housing exhibition halls across multiple floors displaying regional artifacts and artworks.
Built between 1827 and 1840 under Ferdinand I of Austria's commission, this complex served as a prison until 1987 before its transformation into a museum.
The museum exhibits Renaissance artifacts, military items, regional artworks, and scientific collections, representing the heritage of the Irpinia province through various periods.
Located at Piazza Alfredo de Marsico in Avellino, the museum operates Tuesday through Saturday from 09:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 with wheelchair access.
The central tholos chapel remains within the prison complex, connecting five detention wings in a radial pattern that exemplifies 19th-century institutional architecture.
