The Pinacoteca Nazionale in Sardinia is actually split into two: there is a significant collection in Cagliari, housed in the historic Castello district, within the Citadel of Museums. It forms an important part of the National Archaeological Museum and contains a variety of paintings and artworks ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The Pinacoteca Nazionale in Sassari also offers a deep insight into the island's art history. In its historic city center, it presents over four hundred works, mainly paintings. These document the production of various schools and periods and place a special focus on artists connected to Sardinia.

Both locations showcase not only works by Sardinian masters but also influences and exchanges with the mainland and other cultures. Visitors can stroll through the various halls and trace the development of painting and sculpture in Sardinia.

From sacred art to secular depictions, the Pinacothecas offer a fascinating journey through the artistic soul of Sardinia and are a must-see for any art lover.
