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.
Mystery and Wonder: Monte D’Accodi is all this and more. The monument is similar to the ziggurats of Mesopotamia, and is located in the level green countryside outside the city. It probably owes its name to the Sardinian Logudorese dialect that means "Mountain or hill of stones", for its appearance before the excavations, which began in 1952.
