History and identity of Tuscia, in a single museum
The Museum of Valentano tells the story of the area through archaeological collections, historical and ethnographic sections, and educational itineraries designed for all ages. An ideal place to understand the roots of Tuscia before exploring its villages.
Just a few minutes from Frà Viaco, the Museum of the Prehistory of Tuscia and the Rocca Farnese of Valentano tells the most fascinating story of the area: that of Lago di Mezzano.
This small volcanic lake, round and wild, is surrounded by hills, pastures and oak trees and is today a protected nature reserve. Beneath its waters lies an ancient Bronze Age pile-dwelling village, from which come the swords, vases and everyday objects on display in the museum’s rooms.
An ideal visit combines the discovery of the museum with a walk to the lake: an experience blending unspoiled nature and archaeology, perfect for those who love to walk, take photographs and imagine what life was like here 3,500 years ago.
