The Archaeological Museum in Reggio di Calabria is home to one of the most impressive collections of ancient artifacts in Italy. Among the many treasures on display, the museum is perhaps best known for its collection of Riace Bronzes, two large statues of Greek warriors that date back to the 5th century BC.
The Riace Bronzes are considered to be some of the finest examples of ancient Greek sculpture in existence. The statues stand over six feet tall and are incredibly detailed, with every muscle and sinew of the warriors' bodies rendered in exquisite detail. The bronzes were discovered in 1972 by a scuba diver off the coast of Riace, a small town in Calabria, and have since become one of the most iconic symbols of the region.
In addition to the Riace Bronzes, the museum also houses a vast collection of other ancient artifacts, including pottery, jewelry, and weapons. Visitors can explore the museum's many galleries and exhibits, which are arranged chronologically to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of the region.
Overall, the Archaeological Museum in Reggio di Calabria is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient history and art. Whether you're a seasoned scholar or simply a curious traveler, the museum's collection is sure to leave a lasting impression.
