Monuments & Sites, Museums & Art Centres
The Antiquarium and Archaeological Park of Canne della Battaglia offers a rich and fascinating collection of finds dating to Roman, Paleo-Christian and Medieval times. Hannibal, the Carthaginian general and statesman, won here the battle against the Romans in 216 BC. 

The Antiquarium houses the museum exhibition documenting the history of Cannae from Prehistory to the Middle Ages, including a multimedia room.

The Archaeological Park offers two itineraries:                                                                                                                                                                                                                               The first to the main hill, site of the Roman Arx mentioned in the Latin sources, and the medieval castle, basilica and settlement.                                                                                         The second itinerary leads to the early Christian basilica, to the area of the Daunian dwellings with its simple “oven” tombs, and then to the furnace and the medieval burial ground.

The site is managed by Direzione regionale musei Puglia, which promotes and coordinates the museums in Puglia.
