Water towers between Oristano and Cabras In the region between Oristano and Cabras on Sardinia you come across striking, mushroom-shaped towers that are up to 20 meters high. They seem mysterious at first, but they have a very practical function: they are modern water towers. Contrary to what many people believe, water towers are not used to store large quantities of water, but rather to maintain a constant water pressure in the pipe network. This also applies, for example, to the column-like tower at Stagno Sale 'e Porcus, which regulates the pressure in the network. In many Italian regions you can see similar structures, which are often underestimated due to their shape. Despite the striking design, the real benefit lies in the technical background - the increase in pressure ensures that water is evenly distributed and reaches all households.

The Torre Grande is the largest Spanish tower in Sardinia, built between 1542 and 1572. This town is lively thanks to the presence of clubs, bars, concerts, shows, restaurants, festivals, exhibitions and markets. The tower represents the main legacy of Spanish domination in Sardinia, and the nearby town of Oristano also shows extensive traces of fortifications, both medieval and Aragonese. This area is one of the places where the Spanish most influenced construction on the island.
