Uras

Lovers of old historic centres should certainly pay a visit to Uras, rich with the typical Campidanese-style houses with the characteristic rural architecture. As well as the traditional activities linked to sheep-farming, the village also stands out for textile manufacture which has been handed down for centuries. The Sa Domu Beccia Nuraghe can also be found on the territory; a penta-lobated nuraghe with a central donjon connected to other side towers by a corridor tunnel. Considerable remains of a number of huts can still be seen of the large village that developed around the nuraghe, which was once enclosed by a polygonal walled curtain. Three churches in the village are of certain cultural interest: Sant'Antonio, Santa Maria Maddalena and San Salvatore. The latter is situated in the place where on 14th April 1470, Leonardo Alagon was victorious against the Aragonese, led by the Viceroy Carroz. As regards feasts, on 22nd July, the Patron Saint, Santa Maria Maddalena is celebrated. For the occasion, the village organises various civil and religious events which last for several days.
