Barumini, Italian commune in Sardinia
Barumini is a small town in the Province of South Sardinia in Italy, situated in a quiet valley near the Giara hill. The area is defined by ancient stone structures and traditional buildings with a calm and welcoming character.
The area has been settled since the 16th century BC, as shown by the Su Nuraxi structure with its central and four corner towers. In the early medieval period, the town became part of the Giudicato di Arborea kingdom and maintained its role as a community center.
The churches of San Nicola and San Giovanni shape the town with their simple stone architecture and create a sense of tradition in the narrow streets. These buildings remain places where the community gathers today.
The town is easily reached via small local roads, and visitors can find small hotels, bed and breakfasts, and local restaurants. It serves as a good base for exploring the ancient site, surrounding hills, and nearby villages at a relaxed pace.
The Giara hills are home to a herd of small wild horses with mysterious origins that roam freely across plateaus with cork oak trees and small lakes called Is Paulis. These animals are known for their strength and speed and shape the landscape experience.
