Museo Comunale della Ceramica Popolare [Municipal Museum of Folk Ceramics]
Hosted in several rooms of the medieval fortress of Cassero (14th century), the Museum documents the old production of ceramic artefacts for domestic and folk use, typical of Mount San Savino. The exhibition apparatus also presents artefacts found in the course of restoring the Cassero fortress, and others in majolica from the fortress of Ciggiano. The exhibition is completed by a small archaeological section.
