FontanaFontana FraternaSix-arched public fountain, recycled Roman stones, symbol of Isernia, fourteenth-century assemblyIsernia assembled its emblem from Roman blocks and medieval arches, a six-spout public fountain like a small loggia. It has survived earthquakes and the 1943 bombing, patched each time with its own stones.
MuseoMuseo Nazionale del Paleolitico di IserniaLa Pineta site of 600000 years ago, oldest human traces in Italy, in-place excavation hall, child's tooth findRoad works in 1979 cut into a camp where humans butchered bison some 600000 years ago, the oldest major trace of people in Italy. The museum roofs the excavation itself, bones and tools left exactly in their clay.
