Now housing the Banat History Museum, this magnificent 14th century palace (the oldest monument still standing in the city) was built by John Hunyadi during the reign of the Hungarian king Carol Robert and redesigned by the Hapsburgs in the late 18th century.

Since 1929, the Heard Museum has been dedicated to preserving and celebrating Native American cultures with historical accuracy and cultural sensitivity. Collaborating closely with Native communities, particularly those from the Southwest, the museum is renowned for its educational programs, immersive exhibits, and vibrant festivals. Visitors can explore stunning works of art, pottery, jewelry, textiles, and more, created by Native artists who offer their own, first-person perspectives on their traditions and history. The museum also hosts exciting annual events, such as the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market, which showcases Native art, music, and performances.

This theatre, only a 5-minute walk from the historical centre, tells the story behind the typical Sicilian puppet theatre. Visitors can both see and hold a puppet. If you wish to watch a show, bear in mind that there is a summer break.
