Museo Archeologico Nazionale delle Sibaritide

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:45:14

Founded around 730 BC and destroyed by the Krotons in 510 BC, Sybaris was rebuilt twice: once as Thuni by the Greeks in 444 BC, and again in 194 BC by the Romans who called it Copia. Evidence of all three cities can be seen at this archaeological site and its museum located 5km southeast of the modern beach resort of Sibari. Serious flooding affected the site in 2013, meaning the park suffers periodic closures. Check ahead.
