A journey among the unique archaeological finds found in Barumini and the altarpieces of Sardinia, including in-depth studies on sector studies in Alta Marmilla and research perspectives, passing through the discovery of the architecture of the nuraghes and the evolution of their structural characteristics, but also a passage on the new Nuragic archeology research in Marmilla and a cross-section on the barony of Las Plassas in the modern age.
This is what opens on 4 February at the Giovanni Lilliu Cultural Heritage Communication and Promotion Center in Barumini, in the series of appointments on the island's cultural and archaeological heritage, in the presence of important experts in the sector who will retrace, in six stages, a journey through the Sardinian archaeological and nuragic world, in particular in the municipalities of Marmilla, to tell and analyze the many aspects that revolve around the sector.
