Established in 1980 at the Farfa Abbey, the Museo Civico was transferred in 2001 to the Palazzo Brancaleoni in Fara in Sabina, a Renaissance building located in the Piazza del Duomo of the medieval village of the city.

The Museum displays archaeological finds carried out in the area starting from the '70s related to the main settlements of ancient Sabina: Cures and Eretum, often mentioned by Roman writers for the role they played in the history of the foundation of Rome and Roman civilization, to which they passed the baton in these lands.

Thanks to the support provided to the research conducted by the Archaeological Superintendence of Lazio and the Institute for Etrusco-Italic Archaeology of the CNR, which brought to light the remains of these ancient cities, it was possible to outline the historical and cultural profile of this people, settled in Sabina from the 8th century BC until the Roman conquest in the 3rd century BC.

The rooms of Palazzo Brancaleoni enclose artifacts and evidence of Sabine settlements from prehistory to the Roman era. From spearheads to scrapers, passing through the protohistoric villages of Cures Sabini, to the orientalizing funerary furnishings of the tombs of the necropolis of Eretum and inscriptions like the Cippo di Cures.
