Roman Archeological Museum MAR

Located in Positano, the Roman Archeological Museum MAR showcases the remnants of a luxurious Roman villa from the late 1st century BC, once a leisure retreat for the elite.

Founded in the late 18th century, the museum features detailed reconstructions based on the villa's architecture, originally described by Swiss architect Karl Weber.
