Description

The town hall building, built in the second half of the 19th century, is on two levels and houses on the ground and first floors the "Territory Museum" set up by the Museum Centre of Calabria in order to complete the historical-archaeological journey of the colony of Locri Epizefiri and its chora. The Museum of Palazzo Nieddu tells visitors the history of the territory of Locride starting from the testimonies before the arrival of the Greeks until the Hellenistic age. The ground floor houses the testimonies related to the life of the indigenous peoples who lived in this area before the Greeks: in particular, the funeral trousseaus from some of the most important necropolis such as, among others, that of Canale Ianchina excavated by Paolo Orsi at the beginning of '900.The first floor houses a section dedicated to the Collections and a second larger one, to the results of the numerous discoveries made during the construction of the new SS 106 between the Torbido and Condoianni rivers starting from the 2nd millennium BC until the 2nd century BC.
