Beautiful site in the historic center of Perfugas, it recalls the structural perfection present in other Sardinian sites and this aspect never ceases to amaze and fascinate! To visit you need to call the number of the guides who look after the site, and you can pay just for the well or a single ticket which includes two other sites of interest! Definitely worth a visit, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! Advised!

Beautiful archaeological recovery, good state of conservation considering the circumstance of the discovery. In the center of the town, convenient parking, definitely an adequate price. Our guide was really helpful and kind. Call the telephone number once you arrive on the site if no one is there.

Excellent guided tour, clear and not boring explanations. One of a kind. We visited both the Paleobotanical archaeological museum + Sacred Well of Predio Canopoli + San Giorgio retable at a cost of 9 euros per person, it's all worth it.

Gate was closed Pity. But could see from a distance.

Although smaller in size than the more famous one in Santa Cristina, the one in Perfugas has particular characteristics which make it look equally interesting and worthy of a visit. Ask at the museum. Friendly staff and well-kept area.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
