"Panitteri Palace" Archaeological Museum

The “Palazzo Panitteri” Archaeological Museum was inaugurated in 2013 and collects select artefacts originating from the archaeological site of Mount Adranone. The museum’s emblem is the blonde-haired Goddess Demeter. Among the findings it is possible to admire bronze belts, strigils, grave goods, Attic ceramic vases and Punic vases, columns and capitals, both Doric and Ionic. The exhibition trail leads through the seventeenth century rooms of the Panitteri Palace, which belonged to an important family of Sambuca. The building, spread over two levels, has a quadrangular layout with an internal courtyard enriched with ornamental Mediterranean plants and a ‘catalana stairway’ that leads to the main floor.
