The Techno Park Archimedes is located near the Archaeological Park in an area of 1,700 square meters where you can admire replicas and models in scale 1:1 of the inventions of Archimedes.

First, in order to frame the character in the historical period in which he lived, an audio-visual illustrates the life of the scientist.

The park is then divided into subject areasFrom simple machines with levers and examples of its applications, to the area with the reconstructions of war machines in their real size, passing through the area with lifting machines and, finally, to the one dedicated to hydrostatic and hydraulics (where is the reproduction of the famous “communicating vases” of Archimedes).

In the the Techno Park is also available a green area used for meetings and conferences, for book launches or cultural events, art exhibitions or simply as place where you can pleasantly read.
