It was built in the 18th century in the historic centre of Galtellì, a village in lower Baronia, and was inhabited until the 1970s. Then, after being restored in 1995, in keeping with the traditional architecture, the ancient manor house of the Marras family became an ethnographic museum and today it contains a collection of 1800 objects including work tools, furniture and grave goods, which enrich the architecture of sa domo ‘e sos Marras.

Casa Marras is a typical 18th-century noble palace that has retained the appearance of a castle with a crenellated turret. From a large portal, passing through a barrel vault above which there is an inhabited floor, you will enter a rectangular courtyard paved with cobblestones. In the centre there is a well, with arcades on the sides that reflect the organisation of family and collective life of a typical community with an agro-pastoral vocation. On the ground floor, the rooms will allow you to relive activities of the past aimed at transforming and preserving agricultural products. The tools tell the story of the work cycles. The first floor, which can be accessed via an external staircase near the entrance to the courtyard, contains the residence. A corridor will lead you to various rooms furnished with eighteenth-century furniture: here, the collection of antique ‘pieces’ embellishes the rooms, also visited by Nobel Prizewinner Grazia Deledda.

After visiting the museum, don't miss a chance to walk along the stone-paved streets of the village, a former bishopric inhabited by extraordinarily devout citizens: you will come across five churches (plus three more in the countryside) in the space of about one square kilometre. Some are architectural jewels, such as the Church of the Santissimo Crocifisso and the former Cathedral of San Pietro. Then you can dive into the nature of the mountain that ‘protects’ the village: from the top of Monte Tuttavista,. as its name suggests, you can observe breathtaking views.
