Palazzo Antignano - Museo Provinciale Campano
Built in the ninth century, during Lombard rule, the Palazzo Antignano still bears its splendid portal, a fine example of late-gothic Catalan architecture. Since 1874 it has housed the Provincial Museum of Campania, which conserves archaeological finds of importance, among which are the collection of Matres Matutae, votive statues representing the ancient Italic goddess of fertility. Also worthy of note are sculptures from the Roman era, floor and wall mosaics and a substantial collection of epigraphs.
