The Civic Archaeological Museum of Padria is located in the historic center of the city inside the former Monte granatico. The Museum was inaugurated in 1989 and preserves a rich collection formed as a result of excavation campaigns, surface collections and donations. The exhibition follows a chronological criterion and is mostly made up of vases and ceramics. There are also lithic objects such as small knives, smooth green stone hatchets, a lenticular oval-shaped grinder and traces of red ocher, flint and obsidian pieces, as well as bone tips. Of particular interest and of a certain artistic value is the collection of terracotta from the votive deposit found in the site of San Giuseppe, referring to the Roman center of Gurulis Vetus, above which the present-day town of Padria stands. The deposit, datable between the 1st cent. BC and the III century. AD, includes anatomical terracotta, animals, fruits, human figurines, which can be interpreted as ex voto. There is a collection of Punic-Roman finds owned by the Municipality: the black-painted vases, the "thymiateria" with the head of the goddess "kernophoros", the ointments, the cinerary urns and the oil lamps are noteworthy. Some panels illustrate the viability of the Roman city of Gurulis Vetus: the bridges and a local road section connected with a road network connecting the western coast of the island and the innermost Logudoro.
