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.

Very nicely done place on the edge of the old town.

The good Eleonora used to have something to say here, but is now sufficiently revered.

If you fancy for mushrooms

Excellent stretch of cycle road before arriving in Oristano

Magnificent palace in Piazza Eleonora

Wonderful square in the middle of Oristano dedicated to Eleonora D'Arborea. The pretty town hall is also located here.

The Franciscan Order has been present in Sardinia since 1230, and the monastery of San Francesco was founded in Oristano as early as 1253. There is no documentary evidence of the Gothic construction of the church. By the early 19th century, it was in serious disrepair, so Archbishop Giovanni Maria Bua decided to rebuild it from scratch rather than restore it. Thus, it was destroyed in 1835, and on February 17 of the following year, the foundation stone of the new church was blessed. It was designed by the Sassari friar Antonio Cano, a royal protégé who had studied at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. The building collapsed on September 18, 1838, before the dome was completed. From the surviving survey of the church-monastery complex and its surroundings, it can be deduced that the dome had an elliptical shape, as is typical for Cano's works. Shortly thereafter, the task was assigned to the most important Sardinian architect of the 19th century, Gaetano Cima of Cagliari. The project, submitted on September 18, 1841, was approved on April 22, 1842, and work then began. The building, rebuilt according to the forms of purist classicism, reopened for worship in October 1847. The current building has a central plan with two chapels on each side and a deep semicircular apse. From the left chapel, a small room leads to the sacristy. The façade, accessible via a wide staircase with eight steps, is preceded by a tympanum-pronaos supported by four columns and two pilasters. All supports are surmounted by Ionic capitals. The façade features a large central portal and two smaller symmetrical side portals. The central body of the building is covered by a large hemispherical dome, standing on a cylindrical drum and surmounted by a polygonal lantern.
