The Antiquarium Arborense, founded in 1938, is the most important museum in the province of Oristano, dedicated to the famous scholar Giuseppe Pau: it shows a large number of archaeological discoveries which date back to different ages (Neolithic, Nuragic, Punic and Roman period), coming from the city of Tharros and the Sinis Peninsula. The Museum houses an important picture gallery, with the surviving panels of three retables (painted multi-panel altarpieces): the retable of Saint Martin, the retable of the Holy Christ and the retable of the Councillors of Oristano. On the first floor, the museum hosts a miniature model of Tharros and a miniature model of Oristano. The Antiquarium Arborense is the only museum in Sardinia with a section for blind and visually impaired people. Guided tours in the Museum and in the historical centre of the city of Oristano are available in English, French and Spanish language (booking is required).

Leaving the pedestrian streets on your way down from piazza Roma, you’ll arrive at the cathedral and the Piazza Duomo. The cathedral is a large, baroque monument which rests on a well maintained square. The neighbouring church buildings and convent are testament to Oristano’s rich architectural past.
