territory of Carbonia Iglesias routes

The area dell'Iglesiente located in the southwest of Sardinia and has as main centers and Carbonia Iglesias.

The territory is characterized by mountains that form the northern border with the Middle Campidano with Linas mountains, while to the east are the peaks of P. Maxia and P. Sebera which divide Iglesiente with the province of Cagliari, standing high up at an altitude of 1017 meters.

The area is famous for its mines already exploited in prehistoric times, able to tell centuries of local history, some of which today are interesting tourist attractions, with fascinating guided tours of tunnels that lead into the bowels of the earth, where discovers a real world that speaks of local history, a community closely linked to these caves that run underground, which employed and support for the vast majority of the population of these places.

In a counterpoint to this underground world a wonderful coastline overlooking the Sea of ??Sardinia and that includes the island of San Pietro and the island of Sant'Antioco, the latter linked to the island by a strip of land bordering the pond of St. Catherine.

A harsh environment in some ways, very delicate in other aspects, with beautiful protected areas like the Sulcis Park, Mount Linas and Mount Caravius.

The Iglesiente remains one of the least affected by tourism, which has well preserved its natural beauty, offering itself to the visitor and the traveler as a piece of Sardinia authentic and worth discovering.
