Museo civico del territorio Santa Parasceve

The Santa Parasceve Civic Museum houses a vast archaeological deposit, authorized by the Soprintendenza, containing artifacts from various periods found locally.\n\nOn the ground floor of the building there are two small exhibition rooms dedicated to the Barber Museum and the Hairdresser Museum of Ginosa, where time seems to have stopped in the 1940s, with furnishings and objects from these two ancient professions perfectly preserved.\n\nThe museum halls are enriched by the presence of the Ginosa Public Library, with several sections including one dedicated to local history. In the past, the building was a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Parasceve, as confirmed by various historical documents, including the oldest one dated June 1142, which mentions the convent’s location „extra murum civitatis“.\n\nFor more information, click here
