| Location MuSaBa (Museo Santa Barbara) is located in the heart of Calabria, in Italy’s southernmost mainland province, Reggio Calabria. Picturesquely sited in the Torbido River valley near the village of Mammola, MuSaBa is ten kilometres uphill from the Ionian Sea. MuSaBa’s position is extremely panoramic and can be reached directly by the Ionio-Tirreno highway. |
Calabria Fantastic legends envelop the history of this remote region in Italy, from the Homeric monsters Scylla and Charybdis to the Norman tales of Fata Morgana. A succession of peoples and civilizations (Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Swabians and Aragonese), fused with the proto-italic inhabitants and left their imprint on local customs and traditions as well as upon artistic and architectural styles. The geographic isolation of this region, broken only with the development of modern transportation links in recent years, has preserved rich cultural and archaeological patrimony from as far back as the Neolithic period. |
MuSaBa This Museum Park Laboratory has been developed around the remains of an ancient monastery. The Santa Barbara Art Foundation’s MuSaBa is located at the centre of an area that is of exceptional cultural and environmental importance and that is renowned for a number of interesting archaeological remains. The significant presence of indigenous populations has been confirmed by recent on-site excavations revealing necropolis of the XII-VIII centuries B.C. and other settlements that overlaid it between the VII-IV centuries B.C. | Autostrada del sole Salerno-Reggio Calabria Exit: SS Jonio-Tirreno Rosarno-Marina Gioiosa Jonica Exit Mammola SS 106 Marina Gioiosa Jonica Superstrada Jonio-Tirreno Exit Mammola Airports: Reggio Calabria Lamezia Terme Train Station FF.SS Marina Gioiosa Jonica click here | To know more about the fantastic opportunities MuSaBa click here | Tel. +39 0964 414220 Fax +39 0964 414220(*) www.musaba.org email: info@musaba.org(*) apprenticeship@musaba.org shop@musaba.org (*) for bookings | ||||||
