Montevecchio Mine
The mining centre of Montevecchio is part of the UNESCO heritage geo-mining sites of Sardinia.
Probably the most evocative site in industrial history, it allows a leap into the historic cultures of
mining populations, underground worlds, industrial plants, and ancient railways. All immersed in
the nature of Mediterranean scrub.

Porto Flavia
Located in the marine area of Masua, Porto Flavia is the most characteristic result of Sardinian mining engineering
dating back to 1924. It comprises two 600 m long superimposed tunnels that open directly onto the sea
and are separated by huge silos for storing minerals. It is at that point that you can observe this unique port, suspended between sea and sky, on a rock wall upon which the words
“Porto Flavia” stand out and from which you can admire the beautiful rock called Pan di
Zucchero.
