Egnazia Archaeological Park Private Tour

At your chosen time, we'll meet at the entrance of the Egnazia Archaeological Museum. When all have arrived, we'll set off on our journey through Apulia's historic and artistic heritage.

During our tour, we'll learn about the culture of the ancient city of Gnathia, which was inhabited for centuries by the Iapigi, Messapi, Greeks and Romans. We will see testimonies to its past, including the defensive walls and the necropolis with its monumental tombs from the Messapian period.

We will follow the traces left by the Romans, observing the remains of the Via Traiana and the civil basilica with the Hall of the Three Graces. Additionally, you'll see the Sacellum of the Oriental gods, the porticoed square, the cryptoporticus, and the baths. The buildings dedicated to Christian worship, built between the 4th and 6th centuries, include the bishop's basilica, the baptistery, and the southern basilica, which was originally paved with mosaics.

Next, we'll visit the National Archaeological Museum near the necropolis. This museum, dedicated to Giuseppe Andreassi, showcases three centuries of history and impressive objects, including the Head of Acts and the mosaic of the Graces.

After 2 hours exploring the ancient history of Egnazia, we'll leave the museum and say our goodbyes.
