Investigate Ozieri's rich archaeological legacy at the wonderful Museo Archeologico. Housed in the 18th-century Convento Clarisse, it has a small but rich collection, including a couple of copper ingots (nuraghic settlements were trading copper as far back as the neolithic age), some surprisingly modern-looking tools and a selection of fine ceramic fragments found in the nearby Grotta di San Michele.
