In 1921, D.H. Lawrence traveled through the country of Sardinia and remarked that the country’s location makes it a lost region situated between Africa and Europe, really belonging to nowhere. While it lies out-of-the-way, this actually gives the country some appeal.
After all, the small country has the world’s cleanest beaches, which are far less crowded than many other beaches of the world. Visitors who want to explore the island can get a good footing in Cagliari, Sardinia’s capital. In the capital is the National Archaeological Museum of Cagilari that holds many prehistoric tombs and many other important Punic and Roman artifacts.
Visitors who have the money may want to stay at the luxury Costa Smeralda resort and for those who don’t have the budget should stop in and take a look. Many foreign vacationers especially the British tend to use a package destination that includes the Spanish tinted port of Alghero. Visitors can enjoy the time-honored village festivals and see the sights at the Gennergentu Mountains. Another scenic view that visitors can enjoy are the ancient Nuragic civilization architectures. While these are unique, they are hard to get to since they are located in the isolated sections of the country.
Historical buffs can get a taste of the past by visiting various sites located in and around Cagliari. Some sites, located in the Citadel of Museums complex, visitors should take advantage of include:
- Cardu Siamese Museum
- National Archaeological Museum
- National Picture Museum
Visitors can also see a mixed collection of anatomical waxes designed by Clemente Susini, a Florentine sculptor.
