Near the train station, this complex houses the excavated remains of Turris Libisonis, the ancient Roman port on which the modern city stands. The museum, also known as the Antiquarium Turritano, displays finds from the adjacent archaeological park, including a collection of ceramics, busts, marble statues and mosaics. Park highlights include the ruins of an ancient bathing complex known as the Palazzo del Re Barbaro, the mosaiced Domus dei Mosaici, and an impressive Roman bridge.

Guided tours of the site are available and run by the locally run Ibis Coop .
