On Calabrian 15th August, the Laos Archaeological Park in Marcellina, a district of Santa Maria del Cedro (CS), will open its doors to visitors with free guided tours. The initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Culture, is part of the national program “Ferragosto al Museo” (Mid-August at the Museum), which provides for the extraordinary opening of museums, archaeological parks, and other state-owned cultural sites—including castles, abbeys, monumental complexes, villas, and gardens—during normal hours, in some cases with mandatory reservations.
The Laos Archaeological Park will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For the occasion, and throughout the month of August, archaeologist Maria Eva Benvenuto will be on hand to accompany visitors on a discovery of the ancient site, illustrating the history and artifacts of the ancient Magna Graecia city.
An unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and archaeology of Calabria, discovering one of the region's hidden treasures.
