Landscape between plains and hills
The typically Marmilla landscape of Pauli Arbarei consists of a harmonious alternation of fertile plains and gentle hills.
Churches and local history
The Chiesa di San Vincenzo dates from the mid-17th century. The Chiesa di Sant'Agostino dates from 1421. The different dates mark distinct periods within the local history and make the two churches concrete examples of the historical development of Pauli Arbarei.
Memories and traditional architecture
The Museo della Donna conveys the town's past through the voices of the women who experienced it. In the town centre, there are houses made of local stone featuring the “sa lolla” architectural style typical of the Bassa Marmilla, along with high stone walls. In this way, personal memories are combined with the visible forms of the local architecture.
Traces of the Nuragic period
Nuraghe Seneri is located near Pauli Arbarei. Nuraghe Nuraxi Passeri stands in Pauli Arbarei on the Nuragic trail that runs through Sardinia. The Nuragic settlement of Corti Baccas is also located near Pauli Arbarei. Numerous traces of settlements from the Nuragic period can be found in the Is Lapidas area of Pauli Arbarei. The historical record therefore extends from individual nuraghi to traces of settlements.
Festivals with set dates
The annual Sant'Isidoro festival, held on 15 May, includes a procession in which farmers take part with festively decorated tractors. Another multi-day event is the festival dedicated to Santa Monica, Sant'Agostino and San Giovanni Battista. It lasts three, and sometimes four, days. If you would like to include local traditions in your trip planning, these dates give your stay a clear cultural rhythm.
Agriculture and regional cuisine
The local economic foundation of Pauli Arbarei is strongly shaped by agriculture and livestock farming. The cultivation of cereals and legumes, as well as sheep and goat farming, are particularly important. On 29 August, the Sagra della Pecora takes place, an old festival dedicated to sheep, featuring dishes made with typical regional meats and cheeses. This combination of agriculture, livestock farming and food is especially interesting if regional cuisine and shared meals are among your holiday themes.
