As evidence of the thousand-year history of Sardinia, the Cagliari’s archaeological museum (in the Castello district) tells a journey of 7000 years, from the charm of the nuraghi to Prehistory, up to the Early Middle Ages. Among his works you can admire 33 sculptures of the Giants of Mont'e Prama. Another 11 are on display at the Museo Civico Giovanni Marongiu in Cabras, where they were found in 1974.
At the Marmill’as heart the Nuragic Complex "Su Nuraxi" in Barumini is the most important monument of the nuragic civilization in Sardinia, declared in 1997 by UNESCO world heritage.
Reaching the South West coast you can visit another archaeological area, Nora, ancient city of foundation nuragica and subsequently punic, capital of the people of Noritani.
About an hour from Cagliari you reach the peninsula of Sinis in which, in addition to the ancient city of Tharros, founded at the end of the eighth century B.C. by the Phoenicians, you can visit not only Cabras with its Giants, but also the city of Oristano, in whose historic center you can admire the remains of the walls and towers dating back to the Middle Ages.
In the quiet, far from inhabited centers, between the hairpin bends of the state road that connects Iglesias, small medieval town that we recommend to visit, in Fluminimaggiore, you can see the suggestive Anatas temple, discovered by the general La Marmora in 1836.
