The Unique Setting of the Museum

Part of the museum is located in the crypt of the sanctuary of San Nicolò di Piazza, a sanctuary that no longer exists except for the crypt. The museum also extends under the square, where visitors can see the remains that are believed to be part of the ancient forum.
