Known as the Sulcis Railway, this narrow-gauge line was built in the 1920s by the Ferrovie Meridionali Sarde (Sardinian Southern Railways) to connect the mining areas of Sulcis with coastal towns and ports of embarkation. The route passed through isolated landscapes and wooded valleys, serving villages and mines that are now partly abandoned. Today, bridges, tunnels, and disused stations remain, testifying to the era when the railway was the main means of communication for miners and goods in the southwest of the island.

The Rosas Mine, active from 1849 to 1980 for the extraction of silver-bearing galena, lead, and zinc, is now a multi-purpose museum that chronicles the mining history of the Sulcis region. A guided tour allows access to the underground tunnels and a close-up look at the restored structures, while nearby hiking trails allow visitors to explore the natural environment and traces of the mining activity.

The Santa Mariedda Nature Center is located on the site of the ancient furriatroxiu (sheep pen) of Sa Mitza and Sa Strappa, now restored and transformed into a small environmental education center. Surrounding the restored buildings is a natural garden featuring cherry trees, cork oaks, strawberry trees, mastic trees, and numerous species of herbaceous plants and wildflowers typical of the Sulcis region.

This protonuraghe, or “archaic nuraghe”, which takes its name from the mountain of the same name, is located on the summit of a rugged hill overlooking the Cixerri valley to the south.

Here is the entrance to the Santa Barbara tunnel, part of a complex underground system consisting of seven levels connected by vertical excavations called fornelli, once accessed by wooden ladders. Excavation work was carried out using mines and, later, mechanical compressed-air drilling, introduced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Beautiful forest trails. The mining center has a picnic area with a water tap.

Interesting facility, lost places...but the opening times on the internet are wrong. Apparently mostly closed. The outdoor facilities can still be visited though. There are lovely shady picnic areas, and the water taps work!

really beautiful passage under the arches of an overpass of the Old Sulcis railway... from here you follow the railway line in the most characteristic stretch.
