A museum-not-museum in the heart of the Rocca Abbaziale, a multimedia journey enriched with reconstructions of historical instruments to understand the role of communication in the development of civilization and to remember the records of Subiaco.

It was in Subiaco, in the monastery of Santa Scolastica, that the first book with movable type in the history of Italy was printed. The MACS helps to retrace the stages of this invention that contributed to the transformation of an entire era.

The Rocca Abbaziale di Subiaco, also called Rocca dei Borgia, is a thousand-year-old place where you can travel through the history of a municipality, among precious works of art and bold architecture.

From its gardens you can admire a unique panorama of the Aniene valley, while the noble apartments offer a view of important cycles of paintings and decorations. Everything contributes to conveying the charm of a building that was the first home of Lucrezia Borgia.
