The National Archaeological Museum of Ferrara is housed in Palazzo Costabili, in Ferrara, Italy. It holds various excavated artifacts from the Etruscan city of Spina, which flourished between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC. The ancient city of Spina, close to modern Comacchio was abandoned in the 2nd century BC, but was discovered by chance in 1922 and was excavated.
The exhibition is organized into two parts. The ground floor holds items related to the city of Spina and the daily activities there. A special section is dedicated to religious life of the city, manifested by epigraphic evidence. The ground floor also holds two monohull boats (commonly referred to as pirogues) recovered in 1948 in the Isola Valley. The boats date back to the late Roman period (III-IV century BC).
