A small civic museum with Eneolithic finds from the village of San Martino: huts, impasto pottery and cinerary urns.

The Taurasi Archaeological Museum holds material that came to light in the mid-1990s during excavations in the San Martino district. Here the remains of many huts with dry-stone footings, which once supported wooden structures, were uncovered: evidence of one of the most important Eneolithic settlements in Campania, dating back some four thousand years.In the display cases we find impasto pottery vessels, stone tools and several cinerary urns. We recommend this stop to discover that the history of the Calore valley is far older than its famous vineyards: a good way to round off a day in Taurasi among the historic centre, the castle and the hilly landscape.
