Holiday apartment in Sitò between cultural heritage and landscape

The Museo del Territorio of Castiadas is housed in the wing of the administration building of the former penal colony, which was constructed in 1877. The municipality of Castiadas is also home to the Church of San Basilide of the former penal colony; it was built by prisoners at the end of the 19th century. The historic cemetery lies about 500 metres north of the director’s villa of the former penal colony. These sites make the area’s history visible through specific buildings and their spatial relationship.

Older traces also shape the landscape. The megalithic complex of Cuili Piras lies in the northern part of the municipality of Castiadas and comprises burial structures and a total of 53 menhirs. The Nuraghe S’Omu ‘e S’Orcu has three towers around a central tower and an enclosing wall with five surviving towers. A signposted path leads to this nuraghe from the SP 18; the stated walking distance is 250 metres.
