Museo Provinciale di Torcello

The Provincial Museum of Torcello is divided into two main sections: the Archaeological Section and the Medieval and Modern Section. The Archaeological Section houses relics from the Lagoon and other areas dating from the Palaeolithic era to the late-Roman period. The Medieval and Modern Section contains objects and documents from the first centuries of the Christian Era until the 19th century, presenting the history of the island of Torcello and its relations with the area of Altino, the Byzantine culture, and the city of Venice.
