The museum is located at Via piazza Matteotti - 81055 Santa Maria Capua Vetere (CE)
The museum is housed in one of the largest and most amazing churches in Campania, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Capua Vetere.
The remains of the early christian mosaics from the 5th century, G. Diano's Assumption on the high altar, the Pietà by the artist De Mura, and the large Renaissance tabernacle dating from about 1520, will help make this a magical experience. Unforgettable is the excitement triggered by the thicket of ancient columns and capitals of perusal (that is, made by reusing material from older buildings), reminders of the ancient early Christian and later Lombard church.
With its five naves, countless chapels and two large liturgical halls of the confraternities, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Capua Vetere also preserves paintings, tombstones, sculptures, books and reliquaries, witnesses to centuries of history. Surely this church will captivate you because of the atmosphere inside, as charged with faith as it is with history.
This sacred place is a meeting of religion and art, a fusion of religious tradition and craftsmanship, capable of telling the faith of men and women who lived in the past and preserving their legacy and cultural memory.
