Sant'Antonio di Gallura, Liscia Dam Museum

The museum of the Liscia Dam and the Sardinian dams opens to the public with a guided tour service in September 2020.
A young and proud museum, was created with the intention of becoming a center for documenting the barrier works present in Sardinia without neglecting ethnographic and anthropological aspects.
In fact, inside, it also houses an interesting exhibition of clothing and clothing from nineteenth-century Gallura. The museum has two exhibition rooms on the ground floor that illustrate the past, present and future of the territory of Sant'Antonio di Gallura.
In the first room, clothes, accessories and various objects from a very rare burial crypt located below the floor of the so-called “old church” of San Giacomo, in the countryside of Sant'Antonio di Gallura, are on display.
Among the most interesting elements are damask silk shawls, silk taffeta skirts, but also harnesses, cartridges, belts, all in a surprisingly excellent state of preservation.
The adjacent room is dedicated to Lake Liscia and shows documents and photos of the construction of the homonymous dam, started in 1958 and inaugurated in 1962. Initially designed for irrigation purposes only, this marked a real divide between rural Gallura and modern Gallura, allowing the development of the territory and the birth of local tourism.
The dam still guarantees water supply to 17 municipalities today.
