Considering the Torre Macauda Agrigento in Agrigento?
A VT member wrote the following comment about visiting Agrigento:
museo archeologico by dorset
The idea of such a museum dates back to 1864, when the scholar Giuseppe Picone started a collection of archaeological material from the various necropolises of the area, originally housed in the Town Hall. From 1924, new pieces were added, thanks to the excavation campaigns carried out in that period, while 1939 marks a turning point with the establishment of the Superintendency for the Antiquities of the Provinces of Agrigento and Caltanissetta. The building currently housing the museum was completed in 1960; it is located on the Southern side of Saint Nicolas hillock, where the upper agorà once stood. The museum adjoins the Gothic church of Saint Nicholas and also includes the cloister and refectory of the old Cistercian monastery.
