Cervia
Events at MUSA – Salt Museum
This archaeology event in Cervia offers the chance to discover the area’s rich past through stories, artefacts and accounts that bring to light the town’s history and its millennia-old connection with the sea and salt production.
Through talks, exhibitions and in-depth sessions, participants will learn about the archaeological research that has enabled the reconstruction of the lives of the ancient communities that inhabited these lands, exploring traditions, trade and changes to the landscape over the centuries.
An opportunity to engage with history in an immersive way and to celebrate the cultural heritage that makes Cervia a unique destination on the Adriatic coast.
