We were lucky enough to be staying practically next door to this museum so we had the chance to walk by every day. It is a good historical and archaeological museum with an actual archaeological site. The museum displays artifacts from the very ancient times, including the city's origins, from the Greek period, through to Roman times and until more recent times, up to, I think the 19th century. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you like history and archaeology.

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
Centre de la Vieille Charite is an architecturally appealing building, having been built in a Baroque and classical style and having some beautiful Corinthian style columns all around. It dates to the 17th and 18th centuries and its purpose was to be a home caring for the poor. Today it serves as a museum and a cultural centre. We were not able to visit all areas of the centre, but only some parts. It's worth a visit if you can manage it, even from the street.
