Excellent place to rest after the climb from Flumini Maggiore, before going downhill and partially on gravel among the cork trees

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 evocative Grotta di San Giovanni is a geological and archaeological treasure, as well as the longest vehicle-accessible cave in the world.

Ticket prices vary depending on the type of visit. You can find all the latest information on the website: https://www.grottasangiovanni.com/.

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.

Erected in honor and tribute to the miners who worked and often died in local mining operations.

The warrior demon, the knights of the Sartiglia, the mamuthones and the temple of Antas can be recognised

Part of the Candiazzus mine, visible from the road and accessible via a narrow dirt road on the right (coming from Iglesias). The Paris shaft is located on the main construction site, which also includes the tunnel and some disused and dilapidated buildings. The shaft was approximately 100 meters deep and takes its name from the plain where the "Su Paris de S'arru" mine is located; lead and zinc were extracted there.
