Vallermosa
Guarded in a valley of authenticity and beautyVallermosa, nestled in a valley between two watercourses, the Rio Pau and the Gora Manna, is close to the massif of Mount Linas and preserves a rich history that can be felt in the air.
Vallermosa offers an authentic and unforgettable experience for visitors seeking authenticity and beauty: its name testifies to this, as it is composed of “valle” and “hermosa”, which in Spanish means “beautiful”.

Not to be missed is the neoclassical-style church dedicated to Saint Lucifer, Bishop of Cagliari, dating back to the 17th-18th century, which is also the parish church. In the surrounding areas, you can find the sanctuary of Santa Maria, an ancient rural church.
For those seeking contact with nature, Vallermosa offers numerous hiking trails through forests and landscapes that will capture the heart: in particular, Mount Linas, a mountain massif with streams and waterfalls, canyons, and rocky cliffs, and Gutturu Mannu Park, a canyon crossed by a stream and surrounded by one of the largest wooded areas in Italy.
