    Hiking

    The Monteponi mine, active since Carthaginian and Roman times, is one of the most important mining sites in Sardinia. Between the 19th and 20th centuries, it was at the heart of the Italian lead, zinc, and silver industries.

    In the mining village, you can visit the Church of Santa Barbara, the Palazzina Bellavista, the historic headquarters of the management, and the Pozzo Sella, a symbol of the industrial archaeology of Sulcis.
