Forty years after their discovery, the impressive stone statues known as the Giants of Monte Prama have been restored through a meticulous effort funded by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the Sardinia Region. Today, they are finally on view at the National Archaeological Museum in Cagliari, hosting 28 pieces, and at the Civic Archaeological Museum "Giovanni Marongiu" in Cabras, where ten pieces are showcased.
Cabras is a small town in the province of Oristano, in Sardinia, where fragments of the ancient sculptures were accidentally discovered in 1974 by a local farmer tilling the soil on Monte Prama.
