In the middle of the fertile plain of Campidano, Nuraminis is a town full of charm, where history, nature and traditions intertwine harmoniously. A destination far from mass tourism, even more peaceful in this winter period.
We will accompany you, with this short itinerary, on a journey through the countryside surrounding the town; it will certainly be an experience with many little surprises!
1) San Lussorio Park
A few minutes from the town center is the Parco di San Lussorio, a green area suitable for a regenerating walk and, why not, for an open-air picnic.
Inside it stands the Campestre Church of San Lussorio, a small gem dating back to the 17th century and surrounded by greenery. The building is linked to the devotion to San Lussorio, venerated throughout Sardinia – as also evidenced by other places of worship dedicated to him.
The architectural simplicity of the small church, the beautiful façade with arches and the portico blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape, making the place particularly evocative.
The park offers ideal spaces for those seeking tranquility and contact with nature, with shaded paths between rows of trees and large green lawns.
2) The wash house
Approaching Nuraminis, inside another green area, the Parco Nuracesus, we find the public washhouse.
Unfortunately when we pass by the park is closed – it will be open during the summer, when the swimming pool and the playground area will be populated by numerous visitors.
We can still glimpse the washhouse from the outside road and we can imagine it in times gone by… Built in the first part of the last century, the public washhouse has been restored to preserve its original appearance, with stone tubs that were fed by running water.
A central place for the women of the village, not only as a space dedicated to work, but also a meeting and socializing point.
3) An ancient tomb
We conclude our itinerary to the north of the town, along the road that leads to the hamlet of Villagreca.
In the locality of San Costantino, which takes its name from an ancient church that no longer exists, we find a tomb dating back to the Byzantine period (scholars hypothesize a dating between the 7th and 9th centuries). A splendid rural landscape surrounds the ancient tomb.
