In the wings of Palazzo Montevergine, Airola's civic museum holds Roman finds, 16th-century panels and works by Francesco De Mura.

The Airola Civic Museum is housed in Palazzo Montevergine, the building that the Benedictine monks of the Verginian congregation built in 1608 and which passed to the municipality in 1820. We like the idea of discovering the town's history right between the courtyard and cloister of this old complex, where the archaeological section is arranged with capitals, column fragments and evidence of a Roman-era settlement.The historical and artistic section is the real surprise: on display are 16th-century panels by Teodoro D'Errico and a room devoted to Francesco De Mura, with works such as Our Lady of Sorrows and the Deposed Christ, as well as a fresco of the Assumption from the sacristy of the Annunziata. A small collection of sacred furnishings completes the route. We suggest contacting the museum before your visit to arrange opening.
