Museo dell'Arte Mineraria

The Iglesiente is one of the most important mining areas in Italy, especially for lead, zinc and silver minerals. The development of the mining industry and the need for qualified personnel led to the foundation of the Mining School in Iglesias in 1871. In 1934 the students were engaged into excavating some tunnels in the basement of the school. In the Museum of Mining Art, the APIMMG (Mining Surveyors & Mining Geotechnicians Association) has recreated some typical environments and displayed a collection of mining tools and machinery, original laboratory equipment, models used for educational purposes in the school and a huge quantity of archival documents and photographs. By walking through the galleries and visiting the exhibitions under the guidance of the Association experts, everyone can experience unique sensations and get a deeper insight into the human, social and scientific aspects of the mining era in Iglesiente .

I had an amazing experience! I was not expecting that this museum would offer a full immersion in the life, work, and struggles of the miners. The museum was originally a mining school. In contains a mine at the lower level that was carved by the students at the beginning of the century. The mine was also a refuge for the inhabitants during the war. Mattia was my guide. He is a gifted storyteller and brought to life for me the life and tribulations of the miners. I felt myself welling up a few times. Highly recommended.

Our visit happened on a rainy day, and we were not expecting an exciting visit from the museum located in this quiet corner of Sardegna - wow! We were confronted with a very friendly guide, and an involving story of ancient cultures and their open attitude towards each other. We discovered many interesting details of the life lead hundreds of years b.C. and left our visit inspired and happy - definitely a must-see for anyone who is travelling in this area of Sardegna! Small bonus: there is a very friendly cat who follows around along with the guided tour, and who enjoys cuddles. Thank you to the attentive and welcoming staff of the museum!

Porto Flavia

Porto Flavia is one of Sardegna’s wonders. This extraordinary monument of industrial archaeology looms over an enchanting coastline, gifting visitors with a breathtaking vista of the thousand-shaded blue Masua sea, and on the evocative Pan di Zucchero sea stacks, a natural monument 133 metres (440 ft) tall. A genuine engineering masterpiece which improved miners’ life condition and reduced mineral transportation times and costs. The port was given its name by engineer Cesare Vecelli. He gave the port his daughter’s name. The port was operational until the 1960s.

I was lucky enough to walk-in on an off season day, and got in without reservation. I took the tour in Italian (being my first language), and the guide was excellent. (There was a tour in English, but I cannot vouch for that). Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, and her presentation was informative and pleasant (not mechanical as some guides who memorize the information). The parking area is just before and you have to walk a couple of minutes to the entrance. There is a food truck for snacks, sandwiches and drinks. I did not visit the public toilets but watched some other visitors not being impressed and turning away.
