Cagliari - Museo Archeologico Nazionale

At the north end of Via Lamarmora is the Piazza dell'Indipendenza, in which are the Torre San Pancrazio (erected in 1305 to defend the old bastion; view) and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, with Punic, Greek and Roman material as well as the largest collection of Sardinian antiquities. Of particular interest in Room I are the bronze statues found in the nuraghi (dolmens). On the upper floor are pictures of the 14th to 18th centuries.
