Museum of the Trataliese Territory

In the Medieval Village of Tratalias, through the Territory Museum, it is possible to use the accompaniment service for visiting the museum itself and the 13th-century Romanesque Pisan Cathedral of Santa Maria Di Montserrat. Tratalias appears as a village lost in time, wrapped in the intact charm of its millenary history. Founded in front of the Gulf of Palmas around the year one thousand (like the number of its current inhabitants), it experienced its greatest splendor as an episcopal seat during the Pisan and Spanish eras and maintained a leading role until the 19th century. The original village was abandoned in the 1980s after the construction of the artificial lake of Monte Pranu, whose waters, infiltrating, made the houses unusable. The new village arose a few hundred meters away.

The 'ghost' village of a few restored stone houses will take you into the enchanted atmosphere of ancient Tatalia, once closed by three 'baroque' arches - two of which are still intact today - perhaps the ancient entrances to the citadel. At the center is the former cathedral of Santa Maria di Monserrato, built between 1212 and 1282, seat of the Diocese of Sulci from 1218 to 1503 after the abandonment of Sant’Antioco and the coast threatened by Saracen raids.
