The Archaeological Museum of San Severino Marche has been housed inside the old Bishop’s Palace of Castello al Monte since 2003. This former Bishop’s residence is located on Monte Nero, a hill overlooking San Severino Marche. From here, you can still make out some of the buildings in the mediaeval heart of the town. These include the city walls, the tower of the consular palace and the Duomo Vecchio, which houses the remains of San Severino, the town’s patron saint. The museum is named after the local archaeologist Giuseppe Moretti, who was superintendent of antiquities in both Rome and Ancona. While working in Rome, Moretti arranged some important restoration projects, undertook a reorganisation of the National Roman Museum, and began the ambitious work of re-assembling the Ara Pacis in 1937. He is remembered in the Marche region for initiating many excavation projects, and for refurbishing the National Archaeological Museum of the Marche. The archaeological collection at San Severino began to take shape in 1972, and charts the historical and urban development of the town from Prehistory to the late Imperial Age.
