Spazio Strega is the company museum dedicated to the history of the famous Strega liqueur, located inside the historic Strega Alberti factory in Benevento, which has been operating since 1860. The museum celebrates the tradition of the liqueur, its secret recipe, its historic advertising, and its enduring connection to the legend of the Benevento witches.
Key features of Spazio Strega include:
- Historical Location: It is located in Benevento, in Piazza Vittoria Colonna, the same place where the company has produced liqueurs and sweets since 1860.
- Museum Tour: it offers a journey through several rooms, including the Herbal Museum with a display of the 70 herbs and spices that make up the liqueur's secret recipe, the Distillery, an area displaying the historic swan-neck stills, still in operation today, and the Cellar, a Place where the liqueur ages in oak vats for six months, and the
Hall of Imitations, a curious collection of over 400 counterfeit bottles from all over the world.
