Ingurtosu
Ingurtosu, nestled in the wild beauty of the Costa Verde, is a fascinating abandoned mining village that tells the story of 19th-century industrial Sardinia. Once the hub of mining activity, today it preserves the remains of buildings, industrial architecture and the evocative atmosphere of a place suspended in time. Strolling through its ruins, surrounded by hills and Mediterranean scrub, is a trip down memory lane, amidst stories of work and daily life of a bygone era.

Miniera di Montevecchio
Montevecchio, a historically important mining site, offers a fascinating tour to discover a ‘ghost world’ linked to Sardinia's mining tradition. Located between Arbus and Guspini, this complex, which operated from 1848 to 1991, tells the story of a mine that was one of the most important in Italy. The route includes various itineraries that allow you to explore emblematic places, such as the Management Building, the shaft tower and the workers' lodgings. Each stage offers an insight into the hard work of mining and living conditions, from the elegant rooms of the management to the modest workers' dwellings and industrial facilities such as the workshops and compressor rooms. The site, which is part of the Geomining Park of Sardinia, is a dive into the region's industrial past, enriched by unique architecture and machinery.
