Casa Zapata Museum Tours and Tickets

The UNESCO-listed dwellings left by the prehistoric Nuragic civilization at Barumini are among the most fascinating archaeological sites in Sardinia, but interpreting these enigmatic ruins can be a challenge. With this guided tour, gain insights into Su Nuraxi and the people who built it millennia ago as you explore the impressive stone structures and collection of ancient artifacts in the adjacent Casa Zapata archaeological museum.

Go from coastal Cagliari to countryside in one day, and discover the sights of Barumini and Sardinian wild horses of Parco della Giara. With a guide, you’ll first visit Barumini’s Casa Zapata and the Su Nuraxi archaeological site, complete with Bronze Age huts. The afternoon continues with an immersion in Sardinian nature; you’ll seek out horses, wild boar, and birdlife in the heart of Parco della Giara.

Sardinia is home to fascinating Nuragic-age ruins, but visiting these enigmatic sites on your own can be frustrating. With this shore excursion, take in the UNESCO-listed Su Nuraxi archaeological park and Casa Zapata museum with a guide to fully appreciate the history and architecture of their megalithic nuraghe. Enjoy the scenic drive from Cagliari through the countryside to Barumini and time to fully explore both sites before returning to port.
