Museo Delta Antico

The Museo Delta Antico is located in the heart of Comacchio, a few steps away from the Trepponti, the symbolic monument of the city, in a grand neoclassic building known as ‘l'Ospedale degli Infermi’.

Its collection, which includes over two-thousand artefacts, tells the history and the evolution of the ancient Po Delta. For centuries, the large river, named Eridano by the Greeks and Padus by the Romans, has shaped this land and has made it a fundamental hub for trade and commerce between the East and the West, up to the gates of Europe.

Multimedia devices, immersive videos, olfactory installations and tactile guiding paths complete the visual story of the artefacts, transforming visits to the museum into a fascinating journey of discovery of the ancient Po Delta.
