Housed in an 18th-century noble villa, the Museo Etnografico Sa Domo ‘e sos Marras contains a fascinating collection of rural paraphernalia. There’s a loom made out of juniper wood, a donkey-drawn millstone and a small display of children’s toys. Upstairs, rooms have been decorated in their original 18th-century style.
