Serbariu coal mine museum

The Serbariu Coal Mine Museum occupies a site with extensive underground chambers filled with extraction equipment and historical objects. The surface facilities display permanent exhibitions covering the mining operation and its various aspects.

The mine opened in 1937 and became the largest coal extraction operation in the country before closing in 1964. The facility was an important economic center for the region during this period.

The exhibition displays mining tools, lamps, and photographs that document daily life underground. Recorded voices of former miners allow visitors to hear directly from those who worked in these tunnels.

Underground tours are led by guides who navigate through the chambers and explain the layout. The site offers wheelchair accessibility, and a special lamp room provides additional information about mining history.

On certain days, performances in the Sardinian language take place, telling the stories of miners who sang during their dangerous work. These events blend theater with local tradition, bringing the workers' experiences to life.
