Although the dam can be reached by bike from the service road near Sa Cantinedda, and you can cycle on it, this is still a section where you need to pay maximum attention.

The dam, whose construction ended in 1924, is located near Ula Tirso and was built to regulate the course of the Thyrsus river, allow the irrigation of the adjacent lands, and produce low cost energy (Ula was the first Sardinian municipality to have electricity).

Wanted and designed by Eng. Angelo Omodeo, was built in five years under the direction of Eng. Giulio Dolcetta. At its inauguration, the Omodeo lake thus formed was (and remained for a long time) the largest artificial lake in Europe. , the pre-Nuragic settlement "Serra Linta" and the village of Zuri, which was rebuilt a short distance from the lake (but this time on a hill).

The church of San Pietro, dating back to the 13th century, was completely dismantled from its position and rebuilt in its present position in Zuri.
