イグレジアス/イグレジアスでののおすすめグラベルライド

The climb is very hard but it's totally worth it, it feels like you're in the middle of a sea of rocks

The journey takes a relaxing 45 minutes.

Beautifully painted house on a small square with a fountain.

Iglesiente, the region at the center of the Sardinian mining epic and of which it is the capital, derives its name. It has a population of 27,000 and is the episcopal see and heir to the ancient diocese of Sulcis. Iglesias means "churches" in Spanish. It is no coincidence that in a city with a glorious past, especially under Catalan-Aragonese rule (when it was a royal city), the celebrations surrounding the Good Friday customs stand out, recalling Spanish customs in form and color. The mystery processions on Holy Tuesday and Holy Friday are particularly impressive. Among the churches, the Cathedral of Santa Chiara (dating back to the 13th century), the churches of Madonna delle Grazie, Del Collegio, a Jesuit temple, and San Francesco, one of Sardinia's best-preserved and most important buildings in the Gothic-Catalan style, which houses an altarpiece dating back to 1560, are particularly worth seeing.

Admission is free and is permitted in the evening. During the day it will be closed, and you will have to be content with peeking under the door!

Beautiful Spanish tower. There is a small museum inside.

Commemorative square dedicated to the workers of the mining past of Sulcis.

The former Cortoghiana mine was founded in 1889, following the discovery of an important deposit of fossil coal on site. The deposit was only partially exploited due to the presence of aquifers and the high costs of extraction and transportation.
