A great surprise to walk suspended over nuraghi unexpectedly found under a building purchased by the municipality to make it a museum. 3,500 years of history under our feet. When we stayed the excavations were ongoing: even more fascinating experience. The Great Guide, too bad I didn't ask her name. Non perdetevelo!

In the center of the village, next to the parish church, is this manor house which houses the museum of the same name. Upon the death of the last owner, the house was inherited by the Municipality which, during the renovation works, discovered that the building had been built on top of a nuraghe. Now the nuraghe is visible by passing over transparent walkways. The museum contains numerous pieces of Nuragic history of great value, such as the model of a tower discovered during the excavations of Su Nuraxi. The section dedicated to Sardinian peasant culture is also interesting.

As the Barumini entrance includes access to this house, we went along to discover many more archeological areas and amazing history behind all the discoveries and what has been done to keep the sites intact.
Lovely addition to the Barumini area as to show you the other developments done through the ages.

Apart from the Su Nuraxi site, the Zapata palace is the only museum to visit in Barumini. Interesting for the local family history. well preserved.

We visited this palace following a tour of the Nuraxi site, as it is included in one ticket price (along with the museum). It can be reached by a short 10 minute walk from the Nuraxi site.
Upon arrival, we were provided with a poorly translated English pamphlet, which aimed to guide us around the palace. This was ambiguous to start off with, not knowing what the information corresponded to. The signs and artefact descriptions are all in Italian, which was a little disappointing for two tourists that wanted to know more!
This site gives an interesting perspective on a Nuraxi site as you can look at the remains from above. The museum also includes ceramic and iron work from this prehistoric period. Though, the display of the artifacts is sporadic and doesn't correspond to the information pamphlet.
If you visit the Nuraxi site and have spare time, then it is worth a ponder.

Didn't even know this place was here. We found it on the way back from the Su Nuraxi (well worth a visit as well).
Fantastic nuraghe discovered underneath the palace as well as a lot on the interesting history of the palace itself

The entrance to the Casa Zapata Museum is included in the ticket to Su Nuraxi di Barumini.
We found the museum something of a let down after Su Nuraxi, which is amazing.
We had about 35 minutes here with a tour group. There is a lack of English at the museum, so we were lucky to have an English speaking guide to talk to us.
Nevertheless we did not find it that interesting.

We went there after Su Nuraxi just to see the kind of objects people were capable of making 3200 years ago. It was such a great visit... Although in the middle of the summer, we were totally alone in the house and at the entrance we were proposed a guided visit from a very valuable person who told us everything about this particular house based of very special foundations... definitely worth visiting... we feel so sorry we are not even able to remember our guide’s name...

Visited as part of our nearly private tour of the nuraghic ruins of Barumini. Nice place. An old mansion complex. House was built above a nuraghe, which you can see through the glass floor. Not a lit else, but a collection of artifacts from the ruins worth viewing.
