Museo Archeologico Navale

Isola Maddalena


About 1km out of town, on the road to Cala Spalmatore, this museum exhibits finds from a 1st-century shipwreck. The two modest rooms are presided over by an impressive reconstructed cross-section of the Roman vessel containing more than 200 amphorae. At the time of research, the museum was closed indefinitely for renovation.
