MUSEUMS, CHURCHES, ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES AND NATURAL WONDERS HISTORY AND TRADITIONS OF VILLASIMIUS
Villasimius is a town projected towards the sea; it is one of the most beautiful sceneries of Sardinia. The panoramic coastal road allows a 270° sea view, a sight that leaves visitors breathless every day. There are still some warning towers, used in the 16^th century to defend the sea from the Barbary Corsairs, who patrolled this area ready to plunder it. These towers have become the most important trace of Villasimius’ history; they are the keepers of Sardinia’s past.

Villasimius’ historical and cultural heritage is conserved in the Council Archaeological Museum: you will discover numerous finds, art pieces and carefully studied exhibitions that will fascinate the visitors with stories from the Phoenician, Roman and Punic cultures, who have dominated this area over the centuries.

Villasimius is a very lively town always offering cultural diversity: visitors can enjoy exhibitions and themed walking itineraries.

The town library holds a particular interest: here are conserved more than 8500 books, divided into sections; there is a wide choice of books in English, French and German, a very rare find in a tourist library.
