Holiday apartment in Mogoro: Textile Art, Nuraghi and Festivals

A holiday apartment in Mogoro takes you to a place whose character is revealed through crafts, archaeological traces, festivals and regional specialities. The weaving tradition is particularly vivid: in 1835, Mogoro had around 600 looms on which linen and wool were woven. A tradition of Sardinian carpet weaving on looms, passed down through generations, is also preserved here.

Textile Art and Nuraghi

Mogoro is home to numerous workshops where Sardinian carpets are woven. The older buildings also shape a distinctive townscape: they use black basalt, white window frames and wooden doors leading to courtyards. In this way, the textile tradition is combined with visible architectural details.

Cuccurada B is a complex Nuraghe that developed from an original corridor structure. The Cuccurada archaeological site is located about 2 km from the SS 131 and can be reached via the turn-off to Mogoro. The Su Guventu Nuraghe is a single-tower Nuraghe with external reinforcement, situated on a natural rocky outcrop above the town and the entire plateau.

Culture and Festivals in Mogoro

The Fiera dell’Artigianato Artistico della Sardegna di Mogoro was founded in 1961. It includes cultural events, art events, dances, music and performances. Alongside craftsmanship, this places a varied cultural events programme at the centre of attention.

The celebrations of Santa Maria Cracaxia include a procession with the image of the Madonna, oxen, tractors, festively decorated horses, Mogoro’s traditional costume group and women singing the rosary in Sardinian. The festival takes place every year on the last weekend of August in the rural locality after which both the Madonna and the rural church dedicated to her are named. Sa Torrad’ e Cracaxia accompanies the saint’s return to Mogoro with music, games, street performers, open shops and market stalls. As part of the celebrations, the Sagra del maiale in taccula takes place on Sunday evening.

Traditional Specialities and the Historic Centre

Mogoro can also be experienced through its cuisine. Traditional bakeries make Civrasciu, Coccoi and focaccia; a specialised workshop processes mullet roe into bottarga. Saboris Antigus takes place in April in Mogoro’s historic centre. The date in April and the regional specialities provide concrete points of reference for planning a stay focused on culinary experiences.
