Museo dei Brettii e degli Enotri

The museum grew out of the excavations of the late nineteenth century and for many years was housed in the Biblioteca Civica building; since 2009 it has had its home in the Sant'Agostino complex. The route follows time, room after room: the first Stone Age inhabitants, the Oenotrians of the Bronze and Iron Age, the Greek colonies of the Ionian coast, then the Bruttii, with their weapons, coins and funerary grave goods, and finally Roman Consentia. Upstairs, a collection of documents recalls the Risorgimento in Cosenza. A local's advice? Stop in front of the warriors' grave goods: you'll understand why we still call ourselves Bruzi today.
