The Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Cagliari offers a captivating journey through the rich history of Sardinia, showcasing artifacts dating back thousands of years. 🏛️

Located in the heart of Cagliari, this museum boasts an impressive collection that sheds light on the island's ancient civilizations, from the Nuragic era to the Roman period. Visitors can marvel at intricate bronze statues, exquisite pottery, and remarkable artifacts that reveal the island's cultural heritage.

One fascinating real fact is that the museum houses the famous "Giganti di Mont'e Prama" (Giants of Mont'e Prama), a collection of large stone sculptures depicting warriors, archers, and boxers. These statues, dating back to the 8th century BCE, were discovered in 1974 near the town of Cabras and are considered one of the most significant archaeological finds in Sardinia. 🗿🔍

Beyond the Horizon

October 20, 2023

In the middle of Cagliari's ancient Castello district, hidden between medieval walls and contemporary architecture, lies a place that is the beating heart of Sardinia's history - the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. The Cittadella dei Musei, which houses the museum, bears witness to the island's rich history, from prehistoric times to the Byzantine era.

As soon as you enter the museum, you are transported to another time. Each exhibition room tells a different story, from sparkling jewelry to impressive stone inscriptions. The impressive collection not only showcases the artistry and creativity of the people who once lived on this island, but also their spirit and culture.

The museum is more than just a place of the past. It is a "liquid museum" that is constantly changing to be accessible to every visitor. Here, particular emphasis is placed on inclusion and interactivity, whether through the use of sustainable technologies or by creating a space open to everyone - children, the elderly, foreigners or people with disabilities. It strives to preserve and share Sardinia's cultural heritage while building a bridge between the island and the rest of the world, especially the Mediterranean.

As Fernand Braudel so aptly observed, the Mediterranean is a place of countless cultures and histories that collide over time. The Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari captures this essence and presents it in a way that is both educational and inspiring.

So let yourself be fascinated by the museum's stories, artifacts and puzzles and discover how deep Sardinia's roots go back in time. And if you feel like there is so much more to see and experience, then remember: "You can find more highlights and tours in and around Cagliari here: komoot.de/collection/2433150/-cagliari
