Entering the Sanna Museum is like going back in time, from the Paleolithic to the present day. A journey through relics and ancient objects collected over time by amateur archaeologists who gradually over time have created a treasure to offer the city and its visitors.
Named after Giovanni Antonio Sanna, a member of the Kingdom of Sardinia, who had donated a collection of 250 paintings and other relics, mostly coming from the excavation site of “Turris Libyssonis”, this museum was established in 1931 by royal decree.
Today the museum offers a journey through time that starts five hundred thousand years ago. Here visitors will admire truly amazing prehistoric remains but also for the ethnographic enthusiasts there is a very special section, holding the typical Sardinian costumes, precious artifacts that tell the story of islands within the Island, where the dress of its inhabitants represents status and social class.
