The only hotel with real ancient artifacts
Experience history in your own hands
Guests of the four-star Hotel Costazzurra are treated to a unique and unforgettable experience.
Inside of the hotel lies a real museum, a truly rare experience you’ll find nowhere else!
The hotel is home to La Gaipa Collection, a private collection of archeological artifacts, primarily from Magna Graecia, dating back to the V and IV centuries BC.
Why a museum
To mark the return of artistic archeological artifacts from abroad, Agrigento’s Hotel Costazzurra inaugurates the permanent exhibition of the La Gaipa Collection.
Dating primarily to the V and IV centuries BC, the collection is being made permanently available to the public for the first time, offering visitors the unique opportunity to enrich their stay with an extraordinary experience before even stepping foot outside of the hotel.
Guests may also choose to stay in a Museum Room for an even more exclusive look at pieces of the private collection.
Our Museum Rooms offer an exclusive cultural experience, making them an attraction in their own right.
It is no coincidence that the hotel is close to the Valley of the Temples, just a few hundred meters from where the Emporium, the door to ancient Akragas, stood.
Gollaborating directly with the hotel is a team of young archaeologists who open display cases and allow guests to touch some of the artifacts and hold a piece of history in their own two hands!
