Where we are
Ulassai is
situated on a broad terrace overlooking the sea,
and surrounded by the characteristic “Tacchi”
which are limestone plateaus with steep sides (“tacco”
means “heel” in Italian, the tacchi look like
upturned heels). Only in this region of Sardinia
do you find these tacchi.
In several places
you find springs which, in the rainier periods
of the year, feed waterfalls such as those of
“Lecorci” and “Lequarci”. At the base of the
”Tacchi” you find the Cavern ”Su Marmuri”, which
is regarded as one of the most impressive
caverns in Europe. The symbol of the village is
an arch on a historical building, l’Arco di “Barigau”,
which is all that remains of an ancient city
wall.
You should go and
see the works of art of the artists Maria Lai
and Constantino Nivola, which blend in perfectly
among the old buildings of the town centre and
the unspoilt natural beauty of the countryside.
Ulassai is also famous for hand-woven fabrics. |
