Discover Sennori: Tradition between Hills and the Gulf of Asinara

Sennori lies like an amphitheatre in a valley between hills covered with olive groves, orchards and vineyards. From Sennori, there are views of the Gulf of Asinara. As you walk through the neighbourhoods, you will see narrow stone streets and predominantly two- or three-storey houses. The interplay between the valley, hills and built-up neighbourhoods shapes the overall impression. The expansive landscape is set alongside an immediately recognisable townscape. In Sennori, open views and a distinctive, stone-built setting thus come together.

Traces from prehistoric times to the feudal era

Human presence in the area around Sennori dates back to the pre-Nuragic and Nuragic periods. Palattu Ezzu is a reminder of Sennori's feudal era. San Basilio Magno is Sennori's parish church, dating from the 17th century. The Church of Santa Croce has an 18th-century wooden altar. Sennori's historical span thus extends from early periods to specific church buildings and their furnishings from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Costume and craftsmanship

Sennori's traditional women's costume is one of the richest and best-known in Sardinia. Sennori has four women's variants of its traditional costume. Sennori's craft tradition includes weaving baskets from dwarf palm leaves. The four variants make the diversity within this clothing tradition tangible. Basket-making complements the traditional clothing with another form of craftsmanship and gives the local tradition a clear connection to natural materials.
