Castle of Torre
About This Museum
The story of this place begins long before the castle walls went up, with ancient finds from the Roman settlement of Concordia Sagittaria whispering of an even older past. Stepping inside, you leave the modern bustle of Via Vittorio Veneto behind and are immediately wrapped in the quiet, cool air of history. It’s a space that feels more like a local secret than a formal museum, where every glass case holds a piece of our territory's puzzle. You can almost feel the layers of time here, from the Celts to the Venetians, all contained within these sturdy stones.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the 'Situla di Ceneda,' a beautifully detailed bronze bucket depicting scenes of daily life and ceremony. The Roman glassware is stunning, with fragments that still catch the light after two thousand years. And for something truly personal, look for the delicate amber beads from a woman's tomb—a small, intimate connection to a life lived long ago.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on Via Vittorio Veneto, number 19—easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, perfect for a slow afternoon. Just check their hours online before you pop in, as they can be a bit particular.
