Oristano, a lovely place

Wetland of Arborea, Oristano
Wetland of Arborea, Oristano

A beautiful trip I made to Italy, was the one to the historic and fascinating town of Oristano, in Sardinia. Sardinia is already a very beautiful Italian region, and I felt really well in this beautiful place.

In Oristano I found a very pleasant and enveloping atmosphere... I immediately fell in love with the place! Here people are proud of its origins, and they are moreover very linked to its ancient traditions.

Some of the most beautiful places I visited were: the Tower of San Cristoforo, also known as 'Porta 'a Ponti', which was one of the ancient doors of the city walls, erected around the year 1290; and certainly could not miss the Antiquarium Arborens, the important city museum that houses interesting finds concerning local history.

Among the churches I visited, detachment: the Church of San Francesco, a beautiful religious construction that houses in its interior two splendid sculptures: the & lt; em> crucifix of Nicodemus (1360) and the Statue of the Bishop; the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, located in the historic center, is worth being visited not only to be the most important church in the city, but above all for the works of art it holds.

I was also struck by an interesting excursion that I made to Arborea... very beautiful the view of the Gulf of Oristano, above all from the top of Monte Arci... it's worth it!
