The Parco Geominerario Storico e Ambientale della
Sardegna (Historical Geo-Mineralogical and Environmental
Park of Sardinia) extends north-south from Capo Testa to
Domus de Maria in a discontinuous manner, subdivided into 8
areas which together cover 3500 squared km and envelop 85
municipalities. Its main characteristic? It is not only a naturalistic
park, but also of an organisation which strives to keep the memory of
its mining past alive. It does this through its museums, sites open to the public,
archives, industrial archaeology, restorations and scientific research, all recognising and
bringing out the richness of the territory in archaeological and geological terms. In the
park there are eleven sites open to the public:
• Argentiera (Sassari)• Funtana Raminosa (Gadoni)• Galleria Henry (Buggerru)• Ingurtosu (Guspini)• Monte Arci (Pau e Masullas)• Monteponi (Iglesias)• Montevecchio (Arbus)• Perd’e Pibera (Gonnosfanadiga)• Porto Flavia (Masua, Iglesias)• Rosas (Narcao)• Serbariu (Carbonia)
MINES in the sun: mining sites open to the public, surrounding
museums, temples and grottos, excursions to the seaside or
inland, festivals, various forms of accomodation and good
restaurants: a guide to a lesser known, wild Sardinia, rich in
potential experiences for the curious tourist.
