Explore the Ecomuseum of the Sea and Water: a unique journey through Sassari’s underground
Discover a 19th-century aqueduct: walk through a historic tunnel 8 meters underground
Experience maritime culture: admire lateen-sail boats and the Sea Library
In the town of Sassari, in northwestern Sardinia, there is a truly unique museum: the Ecomuseum of the Sea and Water. With this guided tour, you'll delve into the city's underground to discover a little-known history immersed in a truly evocative setting. We are talking about an ancient aqueduct, dating back to the 19th century, whose access is located under an elegant Liberty building. Accompanied by the many stories that distinguish its history, you will visit the long underground tunnel of spring water adduction, 8 meters deep, where everything has remained unchanged since 1878. You will also enjoy the museum areas dedicated to Latin sailboats and have access to the sea library consisting of thousands of publications.
Dive into this experience perfect for both older and younger children!
The EcoMuseum of the Sea and Water was created to raise awareness of the water cycle and the world of the sea on an environmental, historical and ethnological level. The visitor experience uses illustrative panels and follows the path of the water that still flows along the underground tunnel, recounting the characteristics of a structure designed to exploit the natural characteristics of water motion and the local orography, when electricity did not yet exist.
