What you can expect

Take a plunge into the past on the northwest coast of Sardinia and discover dinosaurs with the Alguerex exhibition at Casa Gioisa, nestled in the vegetation of the Porto Conte Park in the territory of Alghero.
During the visit you will immerse yourself in paleoenvironments populated by life-size models of animals that belonged to extinct species with a special focus on the discoveries made right in the Alghero area. But that's not all: your visit continues among the evidence of the Neolithic period, the Nuragic civilization, that of the Roman Empire, the history of foreign dominations and the evidence of World War II and the naturalistic heritage that make up the Ecomuseum of Porto Conte Park.
If you are a lover of wonderful prehistoric creatures, the history of our island and nature, don't miss this immersive experience!
