Step into Calasetta’s Tabarchino heritage with an immersive cultural walk that blends history, seaside scenery, and living traditions. Your experience begins at the Ràixe Museum, a multimedia space that preserves the memory of the Tabarchino people across Liguria, Tunisia, Spain, and Sardinia. Through photographs, family stories, documents, and local accounts, you’ll discover how this unique Mediterranean community shaped the town you see today.
After the museum introduction, follow your guide through Calasetta’s most authentic streets. As you stroll between white Ligurian-style houses and sea viewpoints, you’ll uncover stories of fishermen and sailors and the village’s maritime identity, founded in 1770 by Tabarchini who settled on the island of Sant’Antioco.
Along the way, visit key landmarks that define Calasetta: the main church, the harbour, the Savoy tower overlooking the sea, the old cemetery, and the Scoglio di Zabetta. Folklore and local narration bring each stop to life, including tales linked to the summer solstice legend.
This is more than a historical overview: it’s a chance to connect with the community’s language, memory, and craft traditions. The tour is enriched by meeting a local Tabarchina craftswoman, adding a human, hands-on perspective to Calasetta’s enduring culture. You’ll finish with a small sweet taste of tradition—and a souvenir to remember the story.
