Parco Archeologico di Turris Libisonis — Attraction in Posthudorra/Porto Torres

Turris Libisonis was the only Roman colony on the island, meaning that all inhabitants were Roman citizens which was extremely important in the early Imperial period. We parked at the port and crossed the road to the museum. Access to the archeological site itself is only on an escorted tour for safety reasons so we had an hour in the museum before the next tour. That was longer than I'd liked but the staff were lovely and the museum had some interesting exhibits. Roman glass is always impressive and the thinness of the examples here was quite amazing.

The excavated ruins were ok and there were some very good mosaics which gave an idea of the interior decor enjoyed by the wealthy merchant families at the height of the Empire. The site is quite large and a lot has been swallowed up by the modern town and the railway line was also cut through it. There is an intact Roman bridge just round the corner too which looks like it is being restored. I think there were more staff on this little site than in all the English Heritage sites I have...

My objectibe was to guve only 5 stars at any review, but here unfortunately it was impossible. The site seems to be huge and interesting (we do not really know) and the lady at the entrance was ok, but the management and the program sucks. You are not aloud to visit the site alone and there are only three tours a day, at 10.00, 12.00 and 15.00. We arrived at 12.05 and we were not allowed to join the group. They speak only italian anyway. It is also a small museum at the entrance of the archeological park which we were allowed to visit. Still, some of us were so disapointed that decided not to enter. I visited it and I feel like I lost my time. It is only one mosaic with a funeral inscription, not realy impresive. I should suggest the management to chamnge the rules and let people visit the site alone, maybe a smaller enclosure if not the entire site. The price for the museum was 4 Euro, for the site 4 Euro, and for...

Very interesting, we were welcomed very nicely in English on arrival with explanation of visits and tours. Tickets including the museum and tour are 8 euros for adults and free for below 18s.

Our tour was at 10:30 not 10 as I saw in another review. The guide spoke English and was very enthusiastic. There is lots to see and they are still discovering more each day. It was hot in the sun but there are various places you can stand in the shade to listen.

Despite the appearance from the outside, the museum very modern, nicely laid out, cool and airy with a QR code for every exhibit that you can scan with your phone to learn more. After the tour we did a virtual visit using Oculus VR headsets, which even impressed my...
