The Civic Archaeological Museum “T. Aldini ”in Forlimpopoli - MAF, founded in 1961 and housed in the evocative rooms of the Ordelaffa Rocca from the Renaissance period, preserves precious evidence of local history and archeology. The exhibition itinerary, divided into six rooms, allows the visitor, through the 'reading' of the finds kept here, to know and deepen the millenary history of the city and its territory. The archaeological collections cover a very wide time span ranging from prehistoric to Roman times (the foundation of Forum Popili is traditionally ascribed to the second half of the 2nd century BC and the center reaches its maximum development between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD) up to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Along the way it is also possible to admire the vestiges of the Romanesque cathedral (12th century) dedicated to Santa Maria foropopiliense, destroyed by the papal army led by Cardinal Egidio d'Albornoz in 1361, on whose remains the Rocca was later built.
