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.

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!

The park of the Necropolis of Montessu, surrounded by greenery, is beautiful and interesting

looking closely, you can see engravings

series of "tombs" can be seen from various points

defined as tombs, but sometimes looking at them makes you think otherwise....
