Discover Camisa: History, Beaches and Sardinian Specialties

Camisa as a Small Hamlet

Camisa is a small hamlet with just a few houses, where vehicles pass by only rarely. Crafts and festival culture are located in the hamlet itself; historical facilities, an archaeological site and four beaches are spread throughout the surrounding area and the wider regional surroundings. The geographical distribution remains clear: crafts and festival culture belong to Camisa, the beaches and Nuraghe Sa Domu e S'Orcu to the surrounding area, and additional museums to the wider regional surroundings of Camisa.

History and Archaeology

In the wider area of Castiadas, an agricultural penal colony was established in the 19th century as part of the cultivation and development of the territory. It was closed in the mid-20th century and subsequently converted into a museum. The Museo del territorio is also located in the surroundings of Camisa. The archaeological site Nuraghe Sa Domu e S'Orcu is likewise located in the surrounding area. For those interested in culture, this section combines agricultural history, museum use and archaeology.
