LA SALA DEL RELITTO DELL'ISOLA DEI CAVOLI
THE ROOM OF THE WRECK
(XV century A.D.)

Through the analysis of a Spanish ship wrecked by the “Isola dei Cavoli”, dating back the first half of the XV century and the big quantity of objects found in it, it has been possible for the museum to understand the importance of the traffics that, in that period, involved the trade courses between Spain and, in this case, the South of Italy.

Among the many objects, the load included a rich collection of weapons (fragments of lances, swords, guns), kitchenware (plates and cups decorated with typical drawings), a mortar, a jug, nails, a lead weight, a stirrup, a seal for tissues with the escutcheon of Palm of Majorca, and several tiles glazed in blue and gold called “azulejos”.

The caskets are provided with explanatory panels and some giant posters that document the most important steps of the recovery.
