The City of Cremona has a long history. Founded by the Romans in 218 B.C., the first one northern of the Po River, it was a rich town until the year 69 A.C., when it was destroyed by the civil war which ended with the crowning of Vespasiano Emperor. The town was then rebuilt and it participated to the monumental reconstruction which involved the majority of Northern Italy in the 3rd Century A.C.

The Archeological Museum of Cremona has a splendid accomodation inside the St. Lorenzo's basilical church. The church has a three-nave layout and it dates back to a period around the beginning of the 13th century. The museum itself was opened in 2009 and it displays the core of Cremona's archaeological collection. Inside the basilica-museum is even present a true excavation site represented in this 360 Photo.

Cremona Archeologica: storia nella storia

Cremona ha una grande presenza nella storia. Fondata dai Romani nel 218 AC, prima città a nord del Po, è stata una città fiorente fino al 69 DC quando fu distrutta durante la guerra civile che portò all'incoronazione dell'imperatore Vespasiano. La città fu poi ricostruita e partecipò al rinnovamento edilizio e monumentale che interessò gran parte dell'Italia settentrionale nel III secolo DC.

Il Museo Archeologico cittadino è stato aperto nel 2009 e si trova nella Basilica di San Lorenzo: a pianta basilicale con tre navate, la chiesa risale alla fine del XII, inizi del XIII secolo e presenta i caratteri peculiari dell'architettura romanica. La destinazione a sede museale del complesso monumentale, essa stessa sito archeologico, ne ha favorito il completo recupero. Al suo interno è ospitato il cuore delle raccolte archeologiche di Cremona. All'interno della chiesa-museo è presente anche una sezione di scavi ben visibile nella Fotografia a 360°.
