A museum in the medieval village of Rocca San Felice, with pottery and objects from the castle excavations.

The Don Nicola Gambino Civic Museum stands in the heart of the medieval village of Rocca San Felice, with the remains of the old keep as a backdrop. It gathers material returned by archaeological research: metal objects such as pins, knives and horseshoes, glass fragments, coins, spindle whorls and a limestone fireplace bracket with a human figure.The most interesting core is the medieval pottery: green glazed wares of the 12th and 13th centuries and proto-maiolica pieces decorated with geometric, plant and animal motifs. We suggest checking accessibility in advance, as the building has been reported as temporarily closed, and combining the stop with a stroll among the village's stone houses.
