- Description
- The Regional Directorate for Museums of Calabria coordinates and promotes state museums at a regional level, fostering the creation of integrated services and ensuring uniform levels of quality. Among other institutions and sites of interest, the Directorate manages the National Archaeological Museum of Crotone, the Capo Colonna National Archaeological Museum and Park and La Castella – Isola di Capo Rizzuto.
The National Archaeological Museum of Crotone (Museo Nazionale Archeologico di Crotone) is a state museum collecting finds from excavations carried out in the city, in necropolis and settlements of the territory.
The Capo Colonna National Archaeological Museum and Park (Museo e Parco Archeologico Nazionale di Capo Colonna) extends for about 50 hectares, occupying the easternmost tip of the Capo Colonna promontory, known in ancient times as “Lakinion akron”. It includes the archaeological area, circumscribed by the Roman age walls, an area of naturalistic interest – symbol of the sacred wood of Hera – and the area of the Museum.
La Castella is the fortification, probably of Magna Graecia origin, which occupies the Island of Capo Rizzuto.
