Located in the historic city center and a few steps from the medieval castle of Charles V, it has two floors: on the first floor are exhibited in chronological order (from prehistoric times up to Roman times) the findings concerning the ancient city of Kroton; while on the second floor are exposed, besides the findings concerning the "neighboring" cities (Krimisa and Kaulon mainly), also the askos stolen in Strongoli and finished at the Paul Getty Museum in Malibù in 1992 and returned to Crotone in 2007. Also in the second floor an entire room is dedicated to the "treasure of Hera", a series of votive artifacts including Diadema of Hera: a gold foil decorated on the outside with a set of leaves (maybe myrtle) and berries interlaced between them.

This small church is located just 5 minutes from the archaeological museum of Capo Colonna where you can find all the information that you need. Indeed, the church hosts every May a religious festival dedicated to Madonna, which is really interesting for getting more into the culture of South Italy. Nevertheless, the church is cute and you can even find a cool spot next to it for taking picture of the sea.
