National Archaeological Museum of Sibaritide

The National Archaeological Museum of Sibaritide, is an archaeological museum located between the archaeological park of ancient Sybaris and the current town of Sibari (part of the municipality of Cassano all'Ionio, in the province of Cosenza).

Of considerable importance is the bronze table with a dedication to Athena belonging to Kleombrotos son of Dexilaos, winner of a competition in Olympia, dating back to the early sixth century BC.

In the last few years, a new room has been opened with many pieces returned from various foreign museums, including the US Getty Museum, because they were acquired illegally on the clandestine market.

The excavation site open to the public extends over a vast area of ??about 500 m on each side, and includes a considerable part of the main streets of Copia, as well as the ruins of several villas, with many mosaic floors and, in one case, of a small swimming pool.

The site includes some areas not open to the public, where the cleaning of the objects found in situ is taken care of.
