From circa 2500 BC, as attested by the thirty or so nuraghi present in the territory, there have been Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman, Pisan, Aragonese, French and even pirates, and of all, Sant’Antioco, keeps track. Some of these are visible at the Ferruccio Barreca Archaeological Museum (Mab): the historical-cultural route through the various ages – from the nuragic to the Roman age – is a rich collection of commonly used funerary objects, memorabilia and jewels found on the island. Particular attention is given to the testimonies of the oldest Phoenician centre so far found in Sardinia, Sulki (ancient name of Sant’Antioco), including the Phoenician Tophet, which can be visited in Via Tanit, a sanctuary dedicated to the burial of dead children prematurely or never born. Another important testimony not to be missed is the Punic Hypogeum Village, in via Necropoli, one of the most important in the Mediterranean for the architectural richness and the numerous finds found (info and reservations www.archeotur.it).
