산타디 최고의 사이클링 경로

The Sulcis Railway refers to the historic narrow-gauge railway in the Sulcis region of southwest Sardinia, which was closed down. Parts of the old line are still usable today as cycling and hiking trails.

According to legend, the Acquafredda Castle was built by the Gherardesca family, Counts of Donoratico, when they acquired southeastern Sardinia. In fact, in 1257, the fortress came into the possession of Ugolino of Donoratico, lord of the Cagliarani territory, immortalized by Dante in Canto 23 of the Inferno. However, the castle is older, as it is already mentioned in a papal bull of 1215. After Ugolino's death (1288), it passed into the possession of Pisa, then to the Aragonese (1324), and subsequently to several feudal lords until it was redeemed by Victor Amadeus III (1785). From the top of a mountain, the castle dominates the territory of Siliqua, four kilometers away. Climbing its slopes, the view sweeps from the green valley of the Cixerri to Cagliari, from the Marmilla to the Iglesias area. At dawn and dusk, their shadows extend across the valley.

Many paths begin from this church

A beautiful lake rich in fauna

The Church of Santa Lucia is a small rural church (located on the Capoterra-Santadi provincial road). The structure is located near Sulcis Park, just a few kilometers from the WWF Monte Arcosu Nature Reserve and the Gutturu Mannu State Forest. Thanks to this privileged location, completely immersed in the beauty of the Sardinian landscape, it has always been a popular destination for out-of-town excursions organized by the residents of neighboring towns such as Uta, Capoterra, Assemini, Elmas and Cagliari. The original church was further forward than the current one and consisted of rough bricks and a loggia. Unfortunately, poor maintenance due to the progressive removal of these rural areas caused the church to fall into disrepair and as early as 1965 it was decided to proceed with the construction of the current one (inaugurated two years later). The foundations were dug by hand, the labor was free and the tiles were donated by a local company: the facade was built of cement bricks plastered on the outside, giving it an overall modest and sober appearance, typical of small rural communities. But it is only on August 20th of each year that the church of Santa Lucia shines again in all its splendour: on this day there are actually three days of celebration in which the population pays homage to the saint, with parties, sounds, dances and parades of the best Sardinian folk tradition.
