The Archaeological Museum stands in the
centre of the town of Villanovafranca, in the former "Monte
Granatico" building. The latter is a structure which dates
back to the mid nineteenth century and was recently restored to
its former glory.
The Museum boasts about a thousand exhibits from all over the
district and is divided into two sections:
- The first is dedicated the objects in ceramic, metal, glass
and lythic, from all over the district
- The second section is dedicated to exhibits uncovered at the
"Su Mulinu"
Nuraghe and visitors can admire the monumental Nuragic altar,
believed to be the only one in Sardinia.
The Archaeological Museum also has an exhibition route especially
designed for blind visitors, offering them the chance to understand
this fascinating civilisation.
Furthermore, the Museum boasts a plastic reproduction of the Nuragic
Fortress of "Su Mulinu", which shows the excavation
work carried out since 2001.
The plastic model perfectly reproduces the overlapping structures
belonging to the various civilisations (Nuragic-Punic-Roman-Byzantine)
which used the Nuraghe over the centuries.
