フルミニマッジョーレ/フルミニマッジョーレのおすすめMTBライド

In a lush valley around Iglesias lies one of Sardinia's most important Roman monuments. Originally a nuragic sanctuary, it was also used during the Carthaginian and Punic-Hellenistic periods. Built from local limestone, the sanctuary is nestled in a picturesque valley in the Fluminimaggiore area.

The Temple of Antas stands in the splendid Antas Valley, a natural amphitheater intertwined with over three thousand years of history. The Nuragic people practiced rituals and burials here since the Bronze Age, followed by the Carthaginians, who erected a sanctuary dedicated to the god Sid Addir Babay, and finally by the Romans, who in the 2nd century AD rebuilt the temple in honor of Sardus Pater Babai, the patron deity of the Sardinian people.

In the distance, beyond the first bend, after abandoning the few remaining houses, you can see a church, the church of Sant'Angelo, on which you can see two dates (1734 and 1914), the dates of construction and renovation of the church.

The mountain village of Sant'Angelo was founded with the founding of Fluminimaggiore (of which it is a hamlet) in the early 1700s. It consists of a few houses, scattered throughout a lush surrounding woodland, and charming but abandoned villas. In the second half of the 19th century, the village was part of an area (representing the largest agricultural and pastoral estate in Sardinia) known as "Sa Tanca de Modigliani." The associated mining activity brought Emanuele and Flaminio Modigliani (grandfather and father, respectively, of the artist Amedeo Modigliani) to the area, making it plausible that Amedeo frequented it.
