Museo Civico Archeologico Di Fara

The Civic Archaeological Museum of Fara in Sabina (MUSAF) preserves the main finds from the excavations of two very important surrounding archaeological areas: Cures and Eretum. The building that houses the collection is the historic Palazzo Brancaleoni, a Renaissance-era building, located in the Piazza del Duomo in the historic center of Fara in Sabina, in the same square there is also a very valuable cistern commissioned by the Farnese family in 1588. The Museum was inaugurated in 2001 and among its most important finds it preserves the Cippo di Cures, the only epigraphic testimony of the paleo sabelliche inscriptions (datable between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC) coming from the Sabina, and it will soon be exhibited also the Chariot of the prince of Eretum, a wonderful funerary kit stolen from the necropolis of Colle del Forno and subsequently exhibited for many years in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum in Copenhagen which has recently been returned to the Italian state.
