Narcao

Village between blues music and industrial archaeology

Narcao is a charming village in lower Sulcis, offering visitors a unique experience with history, culture, and music.

The mining village of Rosas, an authentic example of industrial archaeology, has transformed into a stimulating tourist attraction for Narcao. This site reveals the history of lead, copper, and zinc mines that shaped the territory for many years. Today, it is a fascinating open-air park-museum, immersed in an untouched landscape that is part of the Geomineral Park of Sardinia.

The territory of Narcao, characterized by suggestive mountains with a peculiar “jar-shaped” form and caves, such as the cave of su Bacculu with its unique stalactites, offers a unique opportunity to explore the natural beauty of this land.
