Archaeological Museum of Sparta

The Archaeological Museum of Sparta today hosts thousands of findings from the province of Lacedaimonos and also from areas of the prefecture of Laconia that are not covered by the Archaeological Collections of Gytheio and Neapolis Voion. In its halls are exhibited findings covering the time period from the Neolithic to the late Roman era. The most important place is occupied by the findings of the great sanctuaries of Sparta. The visitor of the museum has the opportunity to admire findings from the most important prehistoric sites of Laconia, works of sculpture from the Archaic to Roman times, coming from various regions of the prefecture, as well as findings from rescue excavations among which they hold a prominent position, the fragments of Roman-era mosaic floors from Sparta. Finally, the museum exhibition includes a few epigraphic texts which illuminate some aspects of the history of Sparta.
