Visitors will be able to admire the Anatolian, Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman and Catalan vestiges of its rich past. With Barumini, a nuraghe fortress on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, Sardinia questions its prehistory, especially the imposing vanished civilisation of the Nuraghes, which seems to have played a major role in Mediterranean Antiquity.
The exhibition is part of the international symposium “Knowledge of the Ancient World: Where Were the Columns of Hercules?”, which will take place in Room IX on Tuesday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The symposium, based on Sergio Frau’s book The Columns of Hercules: An Investigation, will focus on the ideas of real and imaginary boundaries and borders that nurture our vision of Antiquity.
