A museum gathering wooden statues, paintings, books and sacred furnishings from the old church of Roscigno Vecchia.

The history of this museum is tied to that of Roscigno Vecchia, the old core of the village gradually abandoned from the early 20th century because of landslides. After 1960, when the inhabitants moved to the new centre, the church furnishings were also brought to the new town. Once restored, paintings and statues found a home in a sacred museum on the first floor of the parish house.Here await wooden statues, paintings, books and liturgical objects that belonged to the old church of San Nicola di Bari, including a painted panel from the second half of the 16th century. We recommend visiting after a walk among the abandoned houses of the old village: we like finding here the religious memory of that community. Visits on request.
