We decided to walk all the way down to the former processing plant. The paths were good, but there was a fence all around the station which was built in 1897. Lead and zinc were processed here until the great mining crisis in 1970s. The station had two ovens and two chimneys on the sides. You could take really nice photos of the coast from here. The way up was a bit of a pain as it was really hot.

Monte Sirai is a first-class Archaeological Park overlooking an extraordinary landscape from its high plateau above: an archaeological area of at least 40 sites, starting from the Neolithic period to the end of the Punic era. Other sites stand within the plateau, some of which are of exceptional interest, such as the Nuraghe Sirai, partly connected with each other by the remaining stretches of the ancient Via Sulcitana. Its strategic position between land and sea overlooking a major road and access to the coalfields explains its foundation by the Phoenicians and its rebuilding by the Carthaginians, who gave Monte Sirai its most distinctive, historic layout. There is a splendid panoramic view to be enjoyed from the Monte Sirai plateau: overlooking the Gulf of Palmas, it reveals a fantastic landscape dominated by the islands of Sant’Antioco and San Pietro, surrounded by smaller islands (Toro, Vacca, Vitello and Isola Piana) and the dunes of Porto Pino.
