Among the extraordinary towns of southern Sardinia, Iglesias is definitely worth a visit.
The town was once known in ancient Pisan as ‘Villa di Chiesa’ and then became ‘Iglesias’ during Spanish rule.
Iglesias has just over 27,000 inhabitants and is famous for its wild coastline and glorious mining past.
The town is rich in cultural attractions, breathtaking landscapes and centuries-old traditions.
One of the most distinctive features of the town is undoubtedly its ancient medieval walls, which are still in good condition today.
During your walk, you will surely be surprised to come across Piazza Lamarmora, a charming square that is transformed into a riot of colour during the summer thanks to the installation of small umbrellas. Iglesias is known for its numerous churches, the most important of which is undoubtedly the Cathedral of Santa Chiara.
