Historians and Museum curators gathered a lot of information and artifacts relating to the history of the island, the castle and the city. During the tour around the Museum you will learn that, according to local legend, the city was founded by Antenor (Trojan hero) in the 12th century BC. But you will also see photos of all the local attractions from different years: the Gothic Church of St. Mark, the icon Museum, the Bishop's Palace, the house-Museum of Marco Polo, All Saints Church, etc.
