OLIENA
TRA FEDE E NATURA
Big
center situated to the strata of the mountain Race him, Oliena is characteristic
for the numerous examples of the typical spontaneous architecture and for the
presence of well 11 churches that rise in the inhabited area, almost all of
simple lines and refined from small bell tower to sail. Between the demonstrations
that are developed to Oliena, of particular interest they are the rites of the
Week Saint and above all S'Incontru, rite introduced in Sardinia from
the Spaniards in 400. The morning of Easter, from the church of Saint Francis
and Saint Maria, the simulacra of the risen Christ and the Madonna depart respectively,
rich of golds dedicate, brought and accompanied from numerous faithful in custom
and from the shots of the rifles loaded to hi. The two separate processions
converge from opposite sides in the plaza Saint Maria, where an immense anxious
and touched crowd waits for them. Immediately after, an only procession accompanies
Mother and Child to the church of Saint Ignazio for the celebration of the solemn
Mass, ended which, in plaza, him from ' the away to the Sardinian dances and
the tasting of wines and local typical sweets. To the entry of the valley of
Lanaitto they are still visible the rests of the complex and articulated village
nuragico (prehistoric construction) of Su Gurrutthone and, to the center,
the few rests of the village nuragico of Ruinas with probable overlaps punics
and Romans. A notable number of blocks in basalt they confirm the presence of
a sacred place, of circular form, tied up to the cult of the waters. To the
center of the vain circular a big cylindrical basin that leans on a base circular
of great diameter and with the rounded off edges. Currently the village is visitable

ITINERARY
ORROLI "IL NURAGHE ARRUBIU"
Sour-pastoral
center of the Sarcidano, Orroli is situated to the center of the highland of
Pranemuru, a little far from the course of the Middle Flumendosa and
he can be reached, for the one who it originates from north, taking the Provincial
Road 197 to the Km 41 of the Charles Felice and, to Barumini, turning to the
right for overcoming Gergei and Escalaplano up to the intersection with the
Provincial Road 128 that it is followed in direction Nurri and Orroli. The origin
of the country is referable to 1100 but excavations effected in the small church
of Saint Nicola, in the homonym district, they let go up again the birth of
the center to the period nuragico. The parish church of Saint Vincent
Martire and Anastasia, accompanied from a beautiful bell tower opened by Gothic
monofore and adorned of hanging bows, preserve some rest of the aboriginal construction
that goes up again a year 1582, while the church of Saint Vincent Ferreri, of
style rustic aragonese, is datable a first years of the XVIII century. In the
inhabited center it is possible to admire ancient portals to arc and typical
courtyards to short with the floor in ciottolato (fragments of rock rounded
off and smoothed by the tide of a river), while in the surrounding territory
there are numerous prehistoric leftovers with over 30 nuraghi (prehistoric
constructions) and 23 domuses de janas. To the northern outskirts, we
find the natural park of Su Motti, rich of trees of acorn and oak trees
(variety of oak) with numerous domus de janas dug on a rocky wall or on big
erratic rocks of basalt. To about fifty meters from the village, the homonym
sacred well rises, to ellipsoidal plant with an extremity it truncates from
the part of the hallway. On this it is opened a stairway of four steps that
they conduct to the cylindrical room of the well, originally cover to tholos
or dome. The nuraghe is perhaps the only monument repent-lobato that
he knows in how much, around the central tower, others five towers rise, you
connect the one to the other from mighty rectilinear walls, with a courtyard
to form of irregular pentagon to the center. This central body is contained
by an ulterior building structure with six or seven towers. Around the complex,
varied huts to circular or rectangular plant of different epoches. The central
tower, that is raised for 14 meters, had originally to be tall around 27 meters,
and of it they remain the place to plain earth and a part of the room of the
foreground that she originally had to be overhung from another room and from
a balcony. The room to plain earth, tall 11 meters, have a coverage to false
almost entire dome, circular plant irregularly and three niches covered to ogival.
The central courtyard is irregularly a vast environment of polygonal form, ample
around 70 mqs. Of the five towers prepared to pentagon around that central,
only one has been cleared away from material of collapse and easy surrender,
while the other has been interesting from collapses and waiting to excavation.
From 1994, the Cooperative Is Janas manages the archaeological area of
the nuraghe Arrubiu, with visits driven from personal trained and it
guarantees services of accompaniment, on booking, in the whole territory of
Orroli.
