Museum of Casal de 'Pazzi

★ 4.5 · 473 reviews

Step inside the Museum of Casal de' Pazzi, built right over a 200,000-year-old riverbed. See fossilized elephant bones and stone tools preserved exactly where workers found them, free of charge and far from the crowds.

✨

Reasons to go

  • The museum was built directly over a Paleolithic excavation site uncovered during roadworks, preserving fossilized elephant remains and stone tools left undisturbed for roughly 200,000 years.
  • Unlike conventional galleries, the site keeps the finds exactly as unearthed, letting visitors see a preserved ancient riverbed with its geological, paleontological, and archaeological deposits in place.
  • Admission is free, and visitors can request a private English-language tour of the site.
