Sa Reina monumental olive tree

Highlight • Natural Monument

"Sa Reina" - in Sardinian "La Regina" is one of the oldest and most majestic monumental olive groves in Sardinia. In a more secluded position in an ancient olive grove, it has truly enormous dimensions, so much so that the circumference is 16 meters and the crown of silver leaves is so large that it reaches the size of a 3-storey house.

Former Sulcis Railway

Highlight • Cycleway

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.
