Located in the bishop's palace, the Civic and Diocesan Museum of Acquapendente offers a fascinating journey through the city's history and territory. With ongoing renovations, the ground floor is temporarily closed, but don't miss the extensive collection of ceramics on the first floor. Paintings, reliquaries, portraits of prelates, and sacred furnishings complete the exhibition.
One of the highlights is the bust of Innocenzo X Doria Pamphjili, originally from the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre. The architectural gem of the museum is the trompe l'oeil frescoes in the View Room. On the second floor, explore the area dedicated to Acquapendente's role as a transit city on the Via Francigena. A diorama depicts the pilgrimage route of Archbishop Sigeric from Canterbury to Rome in the year 990.
