Museo Civico Archeologico di
Concordia Sagittaria
In 1987 the wish of the Municipal Administration to
have a museum in Concordia was realized, in the centre which preserves the remains and the
name of the ancient Roman colony.
This small museum, prepared in a modern simple style, stands next to the XIX° century
museum of Portogruaro, which doesnt offer more expositive space for the recent
discoveries, and complete it, because in it, there are Roman monuments, which complete the
remains here represented, and Paleochristian and Late Medieval monuments, coming from the
excavations of the basilicas, unique for their artistic and documentary value. The Civic
and State Administration intend to realize a big museum able to increase the value of the
archeologicol remains, of which Concordia is still rich.
The museum might be settled in the eighteenth-century Villa Soranzo, which is now being
restored.
At the moment the Museum is situated on the ground floor of the Civic Library and it shows
the objects found during the excavations of the Paleochristian complex of Concordia and
the objects which still come to light in the urban area or on the territory after the
agricultural and building works. In the first room there are the materials coming from the
Concordia necroplis; the second room has been dedicated to the remains of the town
essential for the rebuilding of the life in the ancient town (amphoras, pipes,
etc...........), the third room collects materials found during the excavations of the
Paleochristian building in the cathedral square. |
