Museo del Torrione
Museum | Chiavenna | Lombardia | Italy
The "Museo del Torrione" is located in the Parco Archeologico Botanico del Paradiso in Chiavenna, Lombardy, Italy. This park, founded in 1955, spans two hills, the "Paradiso" and the "Castellaccio", and offers an impressive panoramic view of the city and the surrounding landscape.
Inside the Torrione, a distinctive tower in the park, is the natural history department of the Museum of Valchiavenna. This exhibition showcases geological, mineralogical, and faunal collections that document the region's rich natural diversity.
The park itself is a significant site for nature and history enthusiasts. In addition to the natural history exhibitions, it also offers archaeological sites, including ruins of ancient walls and fortresses, as well as a botanical trail with a variety of plant species, including rare and exotic vegetation.
