オリスタノの洞窟・トップ10

Such a beautiful ride from Bosa to Santu Lussurgiu! Both villages are very quaint. Bosa has a castle and Santu Lussurgiu is a picturesque town interior town on a small mountain top. Old cobblestone streets in both villages. Just breathtaking scenery, roads and towns

The small town of Laconi is a real jewel. Inside it hides the green oasis of the Aymerich Park, a museum that collects artistic testimonies from the prehistoric era and the ruins of a splendid castle dating back to the 11th century.

Steep stairs and tiring in warm temperatures but definitely worth it :-)

You can park your mountain bike and other things at the pavilion and walk up the last few steps. Don't forget the castle in the high season. At the beginning of February no one was there....

In the middle of the Parco Aymerich you can see the ruins of a medieval castle, built in the 13th century to keep an eye on the border between the Guidicato of Arborea and that of Cagliari. This has also been claimed by each of these governments. The main tower is of Spanish origin and was converted into a prison in the 18th century. It is a two-story rectangular building with an arched entrance and a barrel-vaulted ceiling leading to a spacious courtyard. The building's doors and windows are decorated with elegant Catalan Gothic frames. A portico leads to a 35 m long room divided into different rooms. The noble residents lived on the upper floor and the servants lived on the lower floor. Source: https://www.sardegnaturismo.it/en/explore/parco-aymerich

Very nice little town

As you climb the old, winding path through the colorful town of Bosa, you already feel that something special awaits you. Between the colorful house facades and the winding streets, the imposing Castello Malaspina, which towers high above the city, inevitably attracts your attention. Every step you take on this historic climb is not only a movement upward, but also a journey through time. When you finally reach the remains of this mighty fortification, a panorama that is second to none opens up before you. From here you can see the entire city, see the Temo River winding through the valley like a silver ribbon, and if the weather is good you can even see the sparkling blue of the sea. This castle, built in 1112 by the Tuscan noble family Malaspina dello Spino Secco, hides not only its architectural beauty but also mysterious legends. The stories about the jealous Marchese, who cut off his wife's fingers out of anger and madness, cast the walls of the castello in an even more intense light. Legend has it that some of the castle's rocks are the fossilized fingers or stone witnesses to this gruesome incident. But it's not just the old walls and legends that make this castle special - inside there's a small church with impressive frescoes that tell the stories of bygone times. And as you walk through these historic halls, you will be accompanied by the feeling that time has stood still here, high above Bosa.
