Holiday Apartment in Sagama: Churches, Nuraghi and Trails

Sagama is a destination for anyone who wants to combine landscape and history. The village originated in prehistoric times in the fertile Badde 'e Sagama valley. Around the churches, archaeological traces, vineyards and forests, there are various themes to shape your days here. When you choose a holiday apartment in Sagama, you can plan your trip around your preferred mix of culture, landscape and walks.

Churches with a history of their own

An important cultural landmark is the Chiesa di San Gabriele Arcangelo. Construction began in 1606 on the basis of a contract between Rector Anjoi and three stonemasons from Sassari. The church has a single-nave layout with a barrel vault and four side chapels. The Church of Santa Croce, dating from the 16th century, and the Church of N.S. del Carmelo, considered to be medieval, are also part of the villagescape.

Nuraghi and traces of earlier times

Anyone interested in the older history of Sardinia will find several tangible points of interest in the Sagama area. The Nuraghe Muristene is located within the village territory, near the parish church. The single-tower structure has a circular ground plan, a staircase, an entrance niche and a central chamber with three niches arranged in a cross shape. The Nuraghe Funtanedda is also visible in the Badde Sagama valley; its ground plan is polygonal.

The Nuraghe Molineddu is a single-tower structure with a circular ground plan and is located near the eponymous protonuraghe. The Nuraghe Pascialzos is one of the archaeological remains still visible today in the Sagama area. The Crasti Covaccadu giant's tomb is located in the Terra d’Onore area. An allée couverte has also been documented in Badde Sagama, on the border with Tinnura. Remains of Punic, Roman and medieval fortification walls are visible on the southern and northern sides of the village. The Nuraghe Nuratolu is located in the Sagama area around the Badd'e Sagama valley.

Landscape, mushrooms and local festivals

The landscape around Sagama includes dark basalt, forests, vineyards and fresh springs. In autumn, this landscape shaped by forests and vineyards, with its springs, attracts numerous mushroom foragers. The festival calendar also provides a lively setting for the village's history: The patron saint San Gabriele Arcangelo is celebrated on 24 March and at the end of October. In mid-January, the fires of Saint Anthony the Abbot are lit in the square by the Church of Santa Croce; in mid-July, Our Lady of Mount Carmel is celebrated.

Circular Route and Getting There

For active days, an integrated archaeological-cultural circular route with three dedicated itineraries is available. They lead from the sea to natural and historical areas inland in the municipalities of Sagama, Scano di Montiferro, Tresnuraghes and Sennariolo. The circular route includes a network of several mule tracks, known as “Caminos”, which can be explored on foot. Sagama can be reached via various turn-offs from the SS 292. From Montiferru, take the SP 21; from the Marghine-Planargia region, take the SP 34.

This allows you to choose the focus of your stay when selecting your accommodation: churches and archaeological discoveries, landscape and autumn mushroom foraging, or trails that can be explored on foot. A holiday apartment in Sagama suits a plan that brings these different facets of the village together in a single stay.
