The National Concordia Museum, on the southern edge of the old town in the former convent of San Francesco, holds the most important collection of finds from the Roman colony of Iulia Concordia, three kilometres south at modern Concordia Sagittaria. It is one of the better small Roman museums in northeastern Italy, and well worth an hour.
The collection includes funerary stelae, mosaics, bronzes, glassware, and weapons from the Concordia armoury — the Roman arrow-making works that gave the town its second name (sagittaria = arrows). Particularly fine are the inscribed marble cippi and the mosaics lifted from the early Christian basilica. Captions are in Italian only but a short leaflet in English is available at the desk.
