Musée de Filitosa
The Musée de Filitosa is a museum built around an important prehistoric site in Sollacaro. The location displays large stone statues, ancient pottery, and tools that are thousands of years old.
The site was discovered in 1946 and archaeologists spent over two decades excavating and protecting it. The findings show that people lived at this location for more than 8,000 years.
The name Filitosa comes from the local language and reflects the ancient settlement that has been occupied for thousands of years. Visitors can see how the stone figures reveal the beliefs and connection that early inhabitants had with their land.
The site is easy to access and requires only comfortable shoes for uneven ground. Visitors can navigate using maps and information panels or join guided tours to better understand the history.
Many of the stone statues have carved markings that may have recorded stories or important events whose meaning remains mysterious today. These enigmatic symbols make the site a place where the past holds questions that are still not fully answered.
