Cagliari, National Archaeological Museum

The Archaeological Museum is one of the exhibition venues of the National Museums of Cagliari, which also include the Pinacoteca, the San Pancrazio Space, the former Royal Museum and the spaces of Porta Cristina. The National Museums of Cagliari are an Institute of the Ministry of Culture with special autonomy since 2019.
The Archaeological Museum is located in the ancient district of Castello, inside the Citadel of Museums built between 1956 and 1979 with the recovery of the Royal Arsenal and the medieval walls designed by the architects Libero Cecchini and Piero Gazzola.
The collection includes more than 4000 archaeological finds that tell a story spanning almost 7000 years, from Prehistory to the Middle Ages, from Neolithic mother goddesses to Nuragic bronzes, from Phoenician and Punic jewelry to Roman statuary to Byzantine cult objects and Spanish-Moorish ceramics.

Why it's important to visit it
Thanks to the vastness and quality of its collections, formed starting from the nineteenth century, the Museum offers the opportunity to make a complete journey from prehistory to the Middle Ages of Sardinia.
