The Tuna Fishing Museum is located in via Lepanto - Stintino (SS), in front of the Old Harbor. 

Stintino is in the extreme north-west of Sardinia, on a long strip of land overlooking the open sea. It looks out onto the clear waters of the Asinara Gulf and is surrounded by wild nature, often swept by the mistral wind. But its charm is not only owing to its natural beauties. This Sardinian village has a fascinating history, closely related to the events of Asinara Island. In fact, in August 1885, 45 families abandoned Asinara, which was chosen as a quarantine zone and a penal colony. They landed was just over twelve miles off the coast of the island. There Stintino was born between two deep inlets. Not far from the village, there was the Tonnara Saline, the rhythms of which shaped the life of the small village.
