Archivio Storico Comunale

About this museum

Nestled in the historic center of Iglesias, this municipal archive preserves the rich documentary heritage of Sardinia's western mining region. The building, a restored former prison, now houses centuries of local administrative records, municipal documents, and historical manuscripts that illuminate the area's complex social and economic development. Visitors can explore this free cultural resource and gain insights into Iglesias's layered historical narrative through its carefully maintained collections.
