Casa del Parco - Cala Reale
- Permanent exhibition "Stories of Asinara"
In the building of the former Hospital of the Quarantine Maritime Sanitary Station in Cala Reale-now renamed “Casa del Parco”-you can visit the photo exhibition Stories of Asinara.
The exhibition consists of a series of panels reproducing a number of black-and-white photographs depicting Asinara in the first half of the twentieth century and from the personal archive of Marina Massidda, who spent her childhood and youth at Punta Scorno Lighthouse, north of the island, with her family.
The photographs are accompanied by some lines from the poem Azenara by Fabrizio Pittalis, poet and guide of Asinara National Park.
To see the space, it is necessary to contact the Cala Reale Visitor Center.
