Saint Caprasio Abbey Museum

Museum in the centre of Aulla, with archaeological excavations and medieval findings

Inside the museum visitors can find archaeological excavations, various mannequins displaying faithful reproductions of the clothing worn by Pilgrims and abbots in the Middle Ages, a cloister-garden and several museum exhibition rooms with findings from other churches and very particular objects, as well as a room with sculptures of ancient capitals and columns. In the main room there are numerous display cases where you can see the findings of the various archaeological excavations and fascinating ancient objects. There is also a multipurpose room for presentations and conferences.

The peculiarity of this interesting museum is that it is housed in the Abbey where masses are still celebrated by the parish priest Don Lucio Filippi. It is not uncommon for Don Lucio himself to guide visitors around the museum. The Abbey of Saint Caprasio is also one of the stages on the Francigean Route and a possible stop over point for Pilgrims who can stay in the hostel, in addition to receiving the Abbey’s stamp and credentials.

A real living museum which puts together the real work of the Abbey as a church on he one-hand  as it did during the middle Ages and on the other as a hostel for pilgrims who would like to stay there, visitors can experience an environment that takes you back in time to that distant era.
