If you decide to spend holidays in Sardinia’s historical places and museums, you cannot miss the visit of the very famous Museum of Obsidian in Pau and complete the tour with a walk on Mount Arci, the only place on the island where you can find glassy rock.
The Torri Pisane in Cagliari, the Castle of Serravalle in Bosa and the Castle of Sanluri, the necropolis in Domus de Janas, the Perdas Fittas and the Valley of the Nuraghe are unmissable too.
Also the sacred well of the temple of Sant’Anastasia and the Roman baths of Sardara, the ruins of the Gurulis Vetus and the nuraghe of Villanovafranca and Villanovaforru.
Basilicas, Cathedrals and Sardinian Churches
