Municipal Antiquarium Agatirnide

The city antiquarium, established on December 20, 2002, represents the historical soul of the ancient Hellenic city of Agatirno, founded, according to legend, by the son of the god Aeolus, Prince Agatirso. The museum area, strongly desired by a group of youngsters who during the 70-80s undertook a course of study on the presence of this ancient city, houses a multitude of finds that can be placed between the Bronze Age and the first century A.D as well as from the baths of Bagnoli and from funerary areas of the IV-III century BC found on the slopes of Monte della Madonna, from numerous discoveries that occurred throughout the municipal area. The antiquarium was born out of an agreement between the Municipality and the Superintendency for Cultural Heritage of Messina signed in 1997.
