The S'Abba Frisca Museum Park, located in Dorgali in the heart of Barbagia, is an open-air ethnographic museum that tells the life, work and traditions of the Sardinian agro-pastoral civilization. Immersed in a suggestive natural environment, the park extends among centuries-old olive groves, water springs, vegetable gardens, woods and paths. The museum complex includes old rural houses, huts, ovens, oil mills and craft workshops, restored and furnished with original objects. Through exhibitions, practical demonstrations and thematic itineraries, the visitor can learn about traditional activities related to shepherding, agriculture, the processing of bread, cheese, iron and wood. S'Abba Frisca represents an important place for the protection and enhancement of local historical memory, offering an authentic cultural experience that combines material and intangible heritage, landscape and identity, and is today a reference point for the dissemination of traditional Sardinian culture

Interventions funded with a PNRR Rural Architecture contribution
The intervention at the S'Abba Frisca Park Museum involved the renovation of the botanic garden and the recovery of traditional terraces to safeguard water sources and centuries-old olive groves. The “Classroom in the Park” has also been created, an open space intended for educational activities and cultural workshops. Some traditional structures in the area, including the ancient shepherd's hut and the cellar, have also undergone a conservative restoration of the roofs and interiors. Finally, the entire ethno-naturalistic path has been adapted to eliminate architectural barriers, ensuring better

physical and cognitive accessibility.

Aspects of interest
The use of the S'Abba Frisca Park Museum is mainly aimed at rural and ethnographic tourism, with a strong cultural, educational and educational value. The park promotes knowledge of Sardinian agro-pastoral civilization, artisanal traditions and the relationship between man and the environment, offering a sustainable, identity and naturalistic tourism experience, aimed at visitors, schools and scholars. In 2026, the asset was highlighted by the insert of the main Spanish newspaper El Pais, El Viajero, in the list of the 10 best ecomuseums in

the world.
