Nestled in the picturesque coastal landscape of Sperlonga, the National Archaeological Museum represents a unique archaeological treasure, which tells one of the most fascinating pages of Roman history. Here, among extraordinary artifacts and breathtaking sculptures, visitors can immerse themselves directly into the world of Emperor Tiberius and his splendid villa by the sea.

The museum houses the artifacts coming from one of the most exciting archaeological sites in Lazio: Tiberius’ Cave. Discovered by chance in 1957 during the construction works of the state highway, this site revealed one of the most important sculptural complexes of Roman antiquity.

The centerpiece of the museum is the magnificent sculptural group representing the episode of Odysseus blinding Polyphemus. This marble work, dating back to the 1st century AD, is a masterpiece that testifies to the exceptional skill of Roman sculptors. The sculptures, originally placed inside the cave used as a nymphaeum by Emperor Tiberius, tell an epic moment taken from Homer’s Odyssey.
