The position of the town of Buggerru is quite unique, it has its own gulf

Beautiful area with great views.

A site of industrial archaeology right on a beautiful coastline. Buggerru was founded in 1864 as a mining village. Today it is a holiday resort with around 1,000 inhabitants, a fifth of what it had at the beginning of the 20th century. The present village, with the parish church dedicated to St. John the Baptist, consists of fan-shaped houses where the valley of Monte Caitas flows into the sea, a channel that gave its name to the Malfidano mine, the most important mine during the mining era from the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. It was active until 1979: in just over a century, Buggerru, already known for its silver in Roman times, produced more than 1 million tons of zinc and 200,000 tons of lead. Its modern small port lies beneath the exit of the Henry Tunnel, now an open-air museum, once a railway tunnel for the transport of extracted minerals.

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.

Portixeddu beach, divided in half by the mouth of the Mannu River, extends for over two kilometers between the rugged cliffs of Sulcis and the Costa Verde, in the Buggerru area. This long stretch of fine, pale sand is surrounded by a pine forest that offers shelter on hot days. The crystal-clear water and transparent seabed invite long, refreshing swims; however, caution is advised, as the currents can be strong. In summer, there are a few kiosks and refreshment stands. From November to May, however, the area once again takes on a secluded and quiet atmosphere, with no services or refreshments available.

Beautiful 4-hour hike, the landscapes are magnificent

The Torre di Cala Domestica is a remarkable historical landmark that captivates visitors with its stunning visual appeal and rich heritage. Built in 1765, this cylindrical limestone and granite tower is approximately 12 metres in diameter and approximately 11 metres high, offering a unique glimpse into 18th century architectural mastery. The entrance consists of a striking stone architrave supported by two sturdy stones, leading into a vaulted chamber 7 metres in diameter. This impressive structure is not only a testament to Sardinia's coastal fortifications, but also offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Strategically located on the coast, the tower played a crucial role in naval defence, particularly during World War II, where it served as a lookout point for the Royal Navy. Visitors can admire the well-preserved features, including the external metal rung staircase that connects the ground floor entrance to the upper floors, and explore the remains of the surrounding area, which include ruins of warehouses and tunnels dug by miners. The nearby Cala Domestica beach, characterized by its pristine white and amber sand, further enhances the appeal of this destination, making it an ideal place to relax and explore. Surrounded by turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, Torre di Cala Domestica offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its enchanting ambience.
