Ci.M.A. Civico Museo Allai, Ponte romano, Casa sull'albero

About

The picturesque village of Allai in the historic region of Barigàdu, in the central-western part of Sardinia, is home to a museum (CIMA) which is the centre of the cultural life of the community. The historic building, that is traditionally named “Casa Saba”, is the heart of the multimedia museum system: here you will discover a typical house of the village and you will be guided through a time-travel, from prehistory to Middle Ages. This is just the beginning of a journey that will let you discover the rural life of Allai which is still alive in the memory of elderly people. The big millstone for the mastic oil and all the tools which were necessary to its work recall the daily activities of the hard work in the fields, bread-making, farming, harvesting and weaving. Allai will be the mean to get to know not only the lifestyle and the history of the village itself, but of a whole territory.
