The so called Arch of Trajan, was as the name suggests, built during Emperor Trajan's reign between 114 and 117 A.D. It is considered to be the best preserved roman arch in the world as it was incorporated in the city walls during the medieval times as the Golden Gate. It was really noteworthy with scenes of peace looking towards the city center, and scenes of war looking outwards.

The original nucleus of the museum goes back to the 1873. The museum collection took shape over the time as a result of donations, acquisitions and local discoveries. It collects historical evidences since samnitic and roman period, passing through the longobards age, and culminating into interesting national artists works of the XX century. The over 500 finds cover a long period, from the prehistory to our days, and through them we arw able to follow the creation of a local awareness of the heritage, all over the centuries. Belongs to the museum also the romanesque cloister of the XII century, that together with the church is since 2011 a serial site of Unesco. The itinerary also winds along the Palazzo Casiello, seat since 2014 of the section known as "Sculptures and Sarcophagi" of the roman period, that also hosts a bookshop/infopoint
