Structures within the Museum Complex

Other structures include a playroom, a forging school where the International Biennial of Forging is organized, a space for temporary exhibitions, and a mill-museum. The mill-museum features an ancient forge with beaten earth flooring and a large wooden hammer operated by a 15th-century water mill on the artificial canal called Vaso Re, which supplied water to all the forges in the area.
