Palmas Arborea

Palmas Arborea is a pretty town of medieval origins, which owes its name to the abundance of palm groves in its territory. It is historically linked to agriculture and livestock.

Santa Giusta

Santa Giusta owes its name to the local saint to whom the splendid 12th century Romanesque Basilica church is dedicated. It stands on a settlement established in the Bronze Age and which developed in the Phoenician-Punic city of Othoca.

Siamaggiore

The name of the town derives from “sa ia majore”, the main Roman road, perhaps to be associated with the road that connected Tharros to the Forum Traiani baths (Fordongianus).

Solarussa

Solarussa owes its name to the red colour of the local land: Solum Rossum was the Latin toponym of this area that boasts historical and archaeological evidence of the presence of man since ancient times.

Villaurbana
Villaurbana

Villaurbana, nestled in the valley between the Arci and Grighine mountains, has Roman origins and its name derives from Villa Urbis which qualified it as a Town Village of the Roman city of Othoca.
