The information was confirmed by the organization itself, which explains that “only the National Museum of Archeology will be closed because it is still under construction as part of the Recovery and Sustainability Plan.” Everything else will be open not only for free visits, but also for guided tours, guided tours and thematic visits. Until Sunday, about three hundred proposals are already planned.
