Quadrilocale in Via Sicilia

The area sits in the Iglesiente hills, with low mountains and mining landscapes around Monte San Giovanni and the Marganai massif. The Mediterranean is close on the southwest Sardinian coast, with the shoreline around Fontanamare, Nebida and Masua within about 15 km, where cliffs and sea stacks including Pan di Zucchero define the coast. Much of the inland side falls in the Parco Geominerario Storico e Ambientale della Sardegna, linked to the historic mining district around Iglesias and Monteponi. Iglesias is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, medieval walls and churches, and services for daily life. The area is known for former lead and zinc mining, karst caves, and the mining coast landscapes of the Sulcis-Iglesiente.
