★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great family museum, in a house. Fascinating, and much more of an experience, than traipsing through yet another normal museum

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely idea for a museum. A family started what they thought it would be a small renovation, in order to transform their family home into a trattoria, and they discovered centuries of history. Some of the objects they discovered were thousands of years old, from before the Romans were there. Really worth visiting to learn more about the history of the region.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a great story in accidental archeology. The family purchased a house in the old city of Lecce to open a restaurant. In the course of renovation, they uncovered the history of this site in layers, which are all open for you to see.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a fascinating curtain on the history of one plot in the ancient city Of Lecce. It is a private enterprise run by the family whose home and restaurant became a tourist attraction. It is quite amateur in its presentation but in many ways that is even more endearing and allows one to discover things oneself rather than everything being on a plate.
No visit to Lecce should miss it from neolithic times to the Knights Templar with Greeks Byzantines and Romans in between. It provides a fabulous context to the city's history.
If so much can be contained in one property what other undiscovered gems exist in the surrounding area.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We really enjoyed visiting this museum. The ladies who greeted us were nice and friendly. They gave us a booklet that explained the exhibits. I found it fascinating. From the tombs they uncovered , the medieval walls, and the Knight's Templar frescos, it was truly a walk through history!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fascinating private museum run by a family who discovered ruins beneath their home while renovating to open a restaurant. We met one of the sons who did the excavating. He was so kind and explained to us the back story of how the museum came to be and the discoveries his family made over several years. They have written guides in various languages and there are many floors and rooms to discover. Great place to spend some time in Lecce

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very interesting small, family run museum. Great story behind it. 5 rooms , and about 35 stations to stop , observe, and read about. Several languages available. Be ready for stairs.
