The interest's points

Point of interest

Orgosolo

Orgosolo, in the heart of Barbagia, is an open-air museum, where art, identity and mountain landscapes come together to tell the story of a more authentic Sardinia. Each street becomes a visual narrative of history, social struggles and popular culture, offering an intense and authentic experience, far from the classic tourist circuits.
