The National Archaeological Museum Antiquarium Turritano, opened in 1984, exhibits archaeological findings documenting the life aspects of the Roman City Turris Libisonis, which was, according to Pliny the Elder, the only Roman colony in Sardinia. The city was founded either by Julius Caesar or by his adoptive son Augustus in 46 BC. The modern city of Porto Torres was built over the remains of the ancient city and its burial areas. Excavations have revealed the ancient streets and monumental remains of public and private buildings and have allowed us to uncover many aspects of Roman citizens' life. Archaeological park tour: Central Baths, Orpheus' Domus, Pallottino Baths.

The Tuna Fishing Museum of Stintino tells the story of a time that no longer exists. It teaches us about schools of fish that follow the currents of the Mediterranean Sea, about crews which wait for their coming, and about the network system that intercepts the passage of the tunas. The museum describes the traditional method of tuna fishing, practised in the Gulf of Asinara until the last century. It allows us to picture the lives of the men who fished and prepared tunas with great effort and tenacity. It contains the identity of a whole village, Stintino, whose history is closely related to the Tonnara Saline. It perpetuates, today, the memory of men and the sea. The visitor will be lead along a multi-medial journey, a fascinating and evocative audiovisual and musical path. A series of videos in Italian, with English subtitles, rebuild the history of the Tonnara Saline, Stintino and Asinara.
