Canino. National Archaeological Museum of Vulci

The National Archaeological Museum of Vulci is located in the Castle of the Abbadia of Vulci, in the municipality of Canino.

The property was a former abbey dedicated to St. Mamiliano that was destroyed by the Saracens, and then rebuilt by the Cistercians in the thirteenth century and subsequently transformed and expanded in later periods when it became a fort, almost rectangular with four circular towers at the sides.

In the museum are kept finds from excavations starting from the tenth century BC, the proto-aged, and up to the Roman era.

The collection ranges from funerary urns, vases and collections from magnificent Etruscan tombs and arriving to the Roman, with anatomical ‘ex voto’, from the late republican and imperial periods.
