Fabbricato

The area lies in the Sulcis-Iglesiente interior, with low hills and cultivated valleys rather than high mountains. The Cixerri river basin is part of the local landscape. Monte Arcosu, one of the largest WWF reserves in Italy, lies nearby and is known for Mediterranean woodland and Sardinian deer. Siliqua is known for the hilltop castle of Acquafredda, which stands above the settlement. Iglesias and Carbonia are the nearest larger towns in the wider area, providing shops, services and rail links.
