The Church of Santa Severa, dating back to the Byzantine period, is located on a hill a few meters from the town of Gonnosfanadiga.

This small, quiet, traffic-free paved secondary road crosses the valley between Arbus and Gonnosfanadiga and leads to the Giants' Tomb of San Cosimo. It is part of the Santa Barbara Mining Trail.

At the foot of the Monte Linas massif, the town of Gonnosfanadiga lies at the transition between the Medio Campidano plain and the first hills of southwestern Sardinia. The area preserves numerous archaeological remains, including nuraghi and Giants' Tombs, such as that of San Cosimo, among the largest on the island. The town, with a population of approximately 6,000, is closely linked to agriculture and craftsmanship: local knives, honey, wine, and oil are famous. Strolling through the town center, you'll notice the centuries-old wells that once served wayfarers and still serve as meeting points for the community. The town has shops, bars, and restaurants, and throughout the year, festivals dedicated to bread, olives, and oil are held.

Arbus is a village in the Medio Campidano region with a long tradition of mining and craftsmanship. The historic center is home to the Sardinian Knife Museum, several churches, and workshops that keep traditional skills alive. The town is a good starting point for visiting the former mines of Ingurtosu and Montevecchio or reaching the beaches of Scivu and Piscinas. Here, you'll find several options for eating and sleeping, as well as markets, bars, pharmacies, and essential services, useful for those walking the Santa Barbara Mining Trail.

On the Cuccur'e Zeppara hill, now incorporated into the town of Guspini, you can admire a spectacular wall of basalt prisms up to twenty meters high, perfectly arranged like organ pipes. The formation, created by the slow cooling of lava from an ancient volcanic cone, is considered one of the clearest in Italy and Europe. Declared a natural monument, the quarry can be visited via a short trail that allows for a close-up view of this rare geological feature, similar in shape to be seen only in Sicily, Veneto, Iceland, and a few other places in the world.

This small but impressive archaeological site is located within private land. It can be reached with a short detour from the dirt road that connects Arbus to Gonnosfanadiga. Even though there are no signs, it is easy to locate its location.

It is one of the largest megalithic constructions on the island and has yielded an artefact which could be the oldest Mycenaean import found in a Sardinian archaeological site. The Giants' Tomb of San Cosimo stands in a valley in the Gonnosfanadiga area which opens up like a natural amphitheater at the foot of Mount Terra Maistus, in a landscape dominated by the profile of Mount Linas.
