Reggio Calabria — Museo Archeologico & Bronzi di Riace

Calabria

Reggio Calabria's national museum houses the Bronzi di Riace, two remarkably intact 5th-century BC Greek bronze warrior statues recovered from the seabed in 1972, among the most celebrated ancient sculptures ever found in Italian waters. The museum sits a short walk inland from the better-known seafront promenade.
