The tour is actually about 40 minutes, 20 of which are waiting for another group to pass. Not much to see, but i love the idea of being inside one of the most interesting engineering sites. Also the lower level is inaccessible unfortunately.

Unusual: not a mine per se but the tunnel used to transport lead, zinc and silver from the mines to the ship (lady guide with the Bansky tattoo could be less sarcastic with her replies, otherwise it was a positive experience )

Porto Flavia is a unique and impressive site where history meets nature. The old mining port carved into the cliff offers stunning sea views and a fascinating story of engineering. A must-see for anyone visiting the area.

Interesting spot and part of Sardegna history. Also really beautiful views. The guide was very nice. I just would love to learn a bit more as information provided was very simple and I learnt more from AI after the trip

What an amazing place the history and the work that went into carving a bulk shipping and handling facility into the centre of mountain of rock. Well worth the effort to get here and check it out❤️

A bit expensive for what you are getting to visit. The site itself is unique but the tour was underwhelming. The guide seemed like they were reading off a script instead of being actually knowledgeable. It's worth the experience if you enjoy doing your own research.

You can park near to Porto Flavia. But notice it’s a dirt road. The guided tour was very interesting. You walk through the tunnel and see how it was build. At the end you are standing in front of the sea and enjoy a beautiful view.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular views every time I come back and I always bring friends to admire the panorama with its amazing colors that change depending on the light and the wind. (Original) Panorama spettacolare ogni volta che torno ci passo e porto sempre amici per fare ammirare il panorama dai colori stupefacenti ch cambiano a seconda della luce e del vento.

(Translated by Google) Easy to get to. You can leave your car in the parking lot at the start of the trail. After a few minutes' walk, you'll find yourself at the lookout overlooking the washery, a spectacular architectural spectacle set amidst the greenery overlooking the sea. (Original) Facile da raggiungere. C'è la possibilità di lasciare la macchina nel parcheggio all'inizio del sentiero. Dopo pochi minuti a piedi vi ritrovate al belvedere che affaccia sulla laveria, uno spettacolo di architettura nel verde a strapiombo sul mare.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful panorama offering a "breathtaking" view (Original) Bellissimo panorama che offre una vista "mozzafiato"

(Translated by Google) To say the least, wonderful! (Original) A dir poco stupendo!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view.. possibility to eat.. there are benches to sit on.. a nice parking lot.. everything very organized.. and what you see is worth the trip! (Original) Bellissima vista.. possibilità di mangiare.. ci sono delle panchine per sedersi.. un bel parcheggio.. tutto molto organizzato.. e ciò che si vede vale il viaggio!

I absolutely loved this place

Beautiful beach and cristal sea. If you are a climber it's one of the best rock in Sardinia to go and try you're abilities... but big carefully every time, is not simply wall

Like a painting

the best

Stuppendoooo

(Translated by Google) Great place! Beautiful beaches and even better views, but the parking lot gets very crowded during peak season. We miraculously managed to find a parking spot, so I recommend arriving either early in the morning or late in the afternoon around lunchtime. (Original) Świetne miejsce! Przepiękne plaże i jeszcze lepsze widoki, natomiast parking w sezonie bardzo zatłoczony. Cudem udało się zaparkować, dlatego polecałabym przyjazd albo wcześnie rano, albo późnym popołudniem w porze obiadowej.

(Translated by Google) A must-see. Even on the approach, the Sugarloaf Mountain comes into view repeatedly. The best place to take a picture is from Porto Flávio. The parking lot at the end of the road is a bit wild and narrow. Tip for a good free photo spot: drive up the gravel road toward Porto Flávio. Around the bend on the left is a large pull-over area (no parking), but that didn't bother anyone. Up there, you have a fantastic view of the rock. (Original) Sehr sehenswert. Schon bei der Anreise kommt der „Zuckerhut“ immer wieder zum Sehen. Am besten kann man ein Bild vom „Porto Flávio“ machen. Der Parkplatz am Ende der Straße ist etwas wild und eng. Tipp für guten gratis Fotospot: die Schotterstraße Richtung Porto Flávio hochfahren, um die Kurve rum ist links ein großer Ausweichplatz (Halteverbot), hat aber keinen gestört. Dort oben hat man einen super Blick auf den Fels

(Translated by Google) A medieval center that tells of a not so distant past. In summer it is full of details that make the environment welcoming and relaxing. Come to Iglesias and discover the festively decorated streets of the Corso. You can breathe in an air rich in history... Meeting friends for an aperitif in the many outdoor venues and enjoying that beautiful feeling of city life that only a town in southern Sardinia can give you. (Original) Un centro medievale che racconta di un passato non tanto lontano. In estate è ricco di dettagli che rendono l'ambiente accogliente e rilassante. Venire a Iglesias e scoprire le vie del corso addobbate a festa. Si respira un aria ricca di storia... Incontrare gli amici per un aperitivo nei tanti locali all' aperto e godersi quella bella sensazione di vita cittadina che solo una cittadina del sud Sardegna sa' regalarvi.

(Translated by Google) Surprising Iglesias.! I did not expect to find such a nice and characteristic historical center, clean and very well kept, with its alleys and terraces with Spanish-style wrought iron railings. There are many places to eat and drink and the people are extremely kind and welcoming. Recommended visit (Original) Sorprendente Iglesias.! Non mi aspettavo di trovare un centro storico così carino e caratteristico,pulito e tenuto molto bene,con i suoi vicoli e i terrazzini con le ringhiere in ferro battuto in stile spagnolo Ci sono molti locali dove mangiare e bere e le persone sono estremamente gentili e accoglienti Visita consigliata

The centro storico of Igleasias is quite small but absolutely stunning and very beautiful. Definitely worth a day trip or, even better, a short stay.

(Translated by Google) Cagliari is a beautiful city, but chaotic in some places. Seafront walk to do. (Original) Cagliari bella città, ma in alcuni tratti caotica. Passeggiata lungomare da fare .

(Translated by Google) Pretty little village, one of the most interesting in the south that we visited. Don't look for umbrellas if you go there off-season, they are only present in the summer. However, the small streets are pretty, the old walls are still visible, some pretty squares and churches (Original) Joli petit village, un des plus interressant du sud que nous avons parcouru. Ne cherchez pas après les parapluies si vous y allez hors saison, ils ne sont présents qu'en période estivale. Cependant, les petites ruelles sont jolies, les anciennes murailles toujours visibles, quelques jolies places et églises

(Translated by Google) Small, friendly, clean and quiet town, the umbrellas are lovely for Insta photos, but go there for dinner one evening because otherwise not much to do there (Original) Petite ville sympathique propre et calme, les parapluies sont charmants pour les photos Insta, mais y aller plutôt pour dîner un soir car sinon pas grand chose à y faire

(Translated by Google) Beautiful historic town full of charm and culture (Original) Bellissima cittadina storica ricca di fascino e cultura

Our hotel told us to get a bus to madua beach. So we did. But the bus dropped us off 25 minutes away, we had to walk down the mountain but once there the beach was nice, but very choppy! Had a nightmare getting back to the bus stop! Wouldn't recommend unless you get a taxi or drive!

so beautiful spot

Little nice v Place and Restaurant t ops in off. Small Food List but great wine acailabe

Small but very pretty beach. A great way to refresh a little bit in the hot Sarrdinian summer, maybe before visiting Porto Flavia! On the beach there is also a bar/restaurant and there is plenty of parking around the area (both for cars and caravans). Definitely reccomended for a short break or a full day at the beach.

Great beach. Not too busy. Can pay for sun lounger and umbrellas. Sand was really hot. There are toilets, but you have to pay. Water wasn’t too deep, quite clear. There was a little platform for people to jump off, but water looked shallow there.

Amazing place. Pictures, time on a sad. Relax

Best place where to admire a sunset.!the beach itself is small and maybe not too great but there is a good spot for jumps and snorkeling around all those rocks is the best.

A very interesting museum with a collection of 3800 mineralogical, petrographic, and fossil finds from around the world.

Great museum with an amazing collection of minerals. I particularly enjoyed the local mining history and all the different tools and machinery. The guide is only available in Italian.

Great stories , great guide , a good oportunity to learn! A must visit in iglesias! Will certainly come back with new people in my next visit in this city.

We had a fantastic guided tour. The topic is fascinating and the collections of the museum are stunning. The training tunnel is spot on! We were also bewildered by the great mineral collection. Recommended to fully understand the local history.

Well worth the visit. I would recommend this museum to anybody visiting Iglesias. Thanks again to our guide who opened the museum for us on New Year's Eve :)

Very interesting guided tour in Italian though I believe there is some provision in English to. Used to be a mining Scholl explained about mining industry locally

Francesco, one of the guides was extremely helpful and a mine of information. I recommend this museum 100% if you're visiting Sardinia

Need booking online before as otherwise fully booked https://www.iglesiasturismo.it/en/plan-your-trip/tickets/ Was a nice experience to visit a mine in an electric train, using elevator to go down in mine and cave

This place is out of this world. Looks like an underground cathedral, made of alabaster columns, and topped with ivory pinnacles. There are stalactites and stalagmites everywhere, along with other formations. And, to top it off, an amazingly clear and turquoise lake sparkles at the bottom of the cave. Unbelievable...

We really enjoyed our guided tour of the Grotta di Santa Barbara. The tour guide was very friendly and open to every question, which was then answered in a conclusive manner. The tour we took was at 3.30 pm and bilingual in Italian and English. It took us overall a bit more than 60 minutes with a group of approximately 24 people and included: Ride into the mine via mine train, elevator ride (which was a bit cozy), taking the stairs up to the cave, looking around in the cave with a lot of explanations, time to take individual photos in the cave and then the way back out of the mine. The cave itself is really beautiful and very astonishing to look at. Can recommend!

Very cool to ride the train into the mine and get to see a unique piece of geology, truly spectacular

Beautiful cave formations seen only in a few places. We had a very informative and interesting guide.

What a surprise. Worth the visit.

Definitely worth to visit especially when it’s 36 degrees outside

Really cool mine to visit. Tours start every full hour from 10 till 12 and 14 till 17h (only in Italian). Since we were the only visitors the guide tried his best to explain everything in English. Beautiful mine with many authentic features left.

Really cool mine, very interesting tour from our guide about the mine's history, minerals, wokers and more. Tour was both in english and italian. Bring a jacket!

Nice visit to the historic past of the mine live in Sardinia, the guided visit is a must (very interesting).

Love this place.It has a lot of history

(Translated by Google) Guided tour full of information and a place where you can still feel the suffering of those who often worked there in extreme conditions. All around industrial archeology to visit. (Original) Visita guidata ricca di informazioni e luogo dove si respira ancora la sofferenza di chi ci lavorava spesso in condizioni estreme. Tutt'attorno archeologia industriale da visitare.

(Translated by Google) This place literally takes your breath away. The ruins of the former Monteponi mine are a true journey through time - raw, authentic and moving. Walking among the empty buildings, I felt like I was looking into an abandoned world, where you can still hear the echo of the hard work of miners and the industrial hustle and bustle of decades ago. Ruined halls, metal structures, rusty equipment and crumbling buildings create an incredible, almost cinematic atmosphere. Nature is slowly starting to reclaim the area, which adds mystery and melancholy to the place. For lovers of urbex, industrial history or photography, this is a must-see on the map of Sardinia. It was an extraordinary journey - not only physical, but also emotional. Maniera Monteponi is a space that will stay in your memory for a long time. I recommend it to anyone looking for something more than just beaches and resorts. (Original) To miejsce dosłownie zapiera dech w piersiach. Ruiny dawnej kopalni Monteponi to prawdziwa podróż w czasie — surowa, autentyczna i poruszająca. Wędrując wśród pustostanów, miałem wrażenie, jakbym zaglądał do porzuconego świata, w którym wciąż słychać echo ciężkiej pracy górników i przemysłowego zgiełku sprzed dekad. Zrujnowane hale, metalowe konstrukcje, zardzewiałe urządzenia i rozsypujące się budynki tworzą niesamowity, niemal filmowy klimat. Natura zaczyna powoli odzyskiwać teren, co dodaje miejscu tajemniczości i melancholii. Dla miłośników urbexu, historii przemysłu lub fotografii to wręcz obowiązkowy punkt na mapie Sardynii. To była niezwykła podróż — nie tylko fizyczna, ale i emocjonalna. Maniera Monteponi to przestrzeń, która zostaje w pamięci na długo. Polecam każdemu, kto szuka czegoś więcej niż tylko plaż i kurortów.

(Translated by Google) Impressive mining site in terms of size, rich in history and from an architectural point of view. We were only able to visit the Villamarina Gallery because the other structures have not yet been made safe. The visit lasted an hour. We were accompanied by a very knowledgeable guide who illustrated the various phases of the history of the mine. Don't miss it! (Original) Sito minerario imponente per dimensioni, ricco di storia e dal punto di vista architettonico. Abbiamo potuto visitare solo la Galleria Villamarina perché le altre strutture non sono ancora state messe in sicurezza. La visita è durata un’ora. Ci ha accompagnato una guida molto preparata che ci ha illustrato le varie fasi della storia della miniera. Da non perdere!

We went online to check the opening hours and drove 45 minutes from where we were to find it was closed. That aside, the views from the top of the hill overlooking Iglesias were stunning. Alas we could not enter the castle grounds itself as it was all closed up. What a disappointment

The climb to the castle is sadly full of trash. The view is ok, but the castle itself is not really worth it imo.

Probably an interesting place, but closed and you can see nothing of the castle if you are outside the gates

Sunday afternoon was closed. One of few atracion in the City and closed 😂

Closed!

Ok

A nice hilltop castle (not open at the time) wirh nice views.

What a beautiful area. Pure Nature. We did >> Punta Piscina Irgas and Cascate di Muru Mannu << today. Yeahhhhh!!! The gravel road is quite a challenge on the last few kilometers to the parking but it's worth it. If you drive slow it's no problem at all with any car.

Very nice hiking. I was afraid of animals, but it was really beautiful. Waterfall was without water, but hus lake is also very nice.

Very nice

A piece of Paradise in Sardinia

WOW

(Translated by Google) A wonder of nature! The path to get there is very wild, it is certainly not a simple walk but the effort is rewarded by its view. The forest you cross is fairytale-like, full of waterfalls and above all you breathe nature while enjoying a fantastic view! (Original) Una meraviglia della natura! Il percorso per arrivarci è molto wild, non è sicuramente una semplice passeggiata ma la fatica viene ricompensata alla sua vista. Il bosco che si attraversa è fiabesco, pieno di cascatelle e soprattutto si respira la natura mentre si gode di un panorama fantastico!

(Translated by Google) Villacidro - Punta Piscina Irgas (on the way to the Cascata di Piscina Irgas) To reach this waterfall, it's best to drive from Villacidro past Lago di Leni, along the cork oak and pine forests. It's best to park your vehicle at the Cantina Ferrais and take a leisurely walk along a stream. There, you'll repeatedly come across impressive pools of the "Piscina Irgas" – a beautiful landscape. Unfortunately, we didn't reach the Cascata di Piscina Irgas that day, but it was impressive anyway! In some places, there's little water. (Original) Villacidro - Punta Piscina Irgas (auf dem Weg zur Cascata di Piscina Irgas Um zu diesem Wasserfall zu gelangen, fährt man von Villacidro am besten am Lago di Leni vorbei, entlang der Korkeichen- und Pinienwäldern. Am besten stellt man sein Fahrzeug an der Cantina Ferrais ab und läuft entspannt eines Bachlaufes. Dort stößt man immer wieder auf beeindruckende Becken der "Piscina Irgas" - landschaftlich wunderschön . Die Cascata di Piscina Irgas hatten wir an dem Tag leider nicht erreicht, war aber auch so beeindruckend ! Teilweise mit wenig Wasser.

Closed on Sunday, but nice square and beautiful church

Beautiful

Place worth to see :)

Great place

(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of Santa Chiara, located in the heart of the historic center of Iglesias, is the main place of worship in the city and one of the most significant examples of medieval religious architecture in Sardinia. Built in the 13th century at the behest of the rulers of the Pisan dynasty, it was dedicated to Saint Clare of Assisi, patron saint of the city. The building, initially in Gothic style, has undergone numerous interventions over the centuries, especially in the Baroque era, which have modified its original appearance. On the outside, the simple but elegant façade is striking, while the interior houses works of art, marble altars and precious liturgical furnishings. The chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is particularly evocative. The Cathedral is still the center of the city's religious life today, home to solemn celebrations and events linked to the mining and cultural tradition of Iglesias. A place that combines spirituality, art and history, telling the profound identity of the city. (Original) La Cattedrale di Santa Chiara, situata nel cuore del centro storico di Iglesias, è il principale luogo di culto della città e uno dei più significativi esempi di architettura religiosa medievale in Sardegna. Edificata nel XIII secolo per volere dei sovrani della dinastia pisana, fu dedicata a Santa Chiara d'Assisi, patrona della città. L’edificio, inizialmente in stile gotico, ha subito numerosi interventi nel corso dei secoli, soprattutto in epoca barocca, che ne hanno modificato l’aspetto originario. All’esterno colpisce la facciata semplice ma elegante, mentre l’interno custodisce opere d’arte, altari marmorei e preziosi arredi liturgici. Particolarmente suggestiva è la cappella del Santissimo Sacramento. La Cattedrale è ancora oggi centro della vita religiosa cittadina, sede di celebrazioni solenni e manifestazioni legate alla tradizione mineraria e culturale di Iglesias. Un luogo che unisce spiritualità, arte e storia, raccontando l’identità profonda della città.

(Translated by Google) Motivated, competent and passionate volunteers. We very much appreciated the desire of the former students' association to ensure the usability of a beautiful museum, enriched by interesting documents displayed in the showcases, artefacts and tools used in the school and in the mines, scale models and technical drawings.

Abbiamo molto gradito la volontà dell'associazione degli ex allievi di assicurare la fruibilità di un bellissimo museo, arricchito da documenti interessanti esposti nelle vetrine, manufatti e strumenti in uso nella scuola e nelle miniere, modelli in scala e disegni tecnici.

Amazing experience sampling delicious wines paired with local cheese and salami. A must if you are a wine lover. The owner was very nice he gave us a tour of the winery. While tasting the wine he explained about the wine and the history of the locality. Will definitely visit again

What a grape escape! The winery was top-notch, and Enrico was the perfect pour-fection! He gave us a taste of the good life with his expert knowledge of the wines and grapes, making us feel like we were part of the wine-drinking elite! Thanks from the the DC girl and the 2 UK girls!

I emailed Cantina Aru a few weeks before our visit and got a quick reply from Enrico helping to set up a visit for us. When we visited they were doing work on a new tasting space which we got to see in progress and will make a beautiful space to taste when it's finished. The tasting includes 5 wines and Enrico told us about the local producers where he picked up some cheese and salami to go with the wines. Everything was delicious and Enrico was very warm and welcoming. We took home 2 bottles and would have taken more if we had the space to travel with them!

Enrico is an absolute legend. We came in for wine tasting and he explained everything in so much detail (in English). We learnt so much about all the wines and history about the area which we didn’t know about. Would highly recommend anyone to visit this little gem!

Highly recommend a trip to this vineyard! We notified the vineyard about our arrival a day in advance and they were very welcoming and happy to give us a free tour. We loved their hospitality and kindness. Enrico told us about the wine production and offered us 5 different wines together with some local produce to snack on. Not to mention that his English is fantastic! Thank you very much!!

It was great to visit this small local winery - we didn’t know the wines offered by this place so we were offered wine tasting in the nice surrounding. The white wine is delicious! Great quality for a reasonable price. Will be ideal as a present.

We had the most amazing experience with Enrico, who showed us Cantina Aru and their wines for about 3 hours. We tasted 5 wines, and some local cheese, bread and sausage, and at the end we even got to taste wine during 3 different fermentation processes. A beautiful vineyard with a nice little museum, amazing wines and the most amazing staff. Enrico was great, the sales manager was so passionate although speaking Italian he often came and answered questions that Enrico would translate. If we comeback we will visit again! Must try experience if you are in the area.

Ancient graveyard with many beautiful statues.

(Translated by Google) History Many fighters from the First and Second World Wars were buried in this cemetery. The remains of many have returned to their homeland, others are still buried here. Like all cemeteries it is a sad place, full of stories linked to every single individual who rests there. Outside there is a large car park.

(Translated by Google) A monumental cemetery with some statues of great value and splendid artistic value. Some works are by Sartori but unfortunately some have lost part of their original appearance over time and neglect. The historical part deserves more respect and greater protection and the restoration of their initial conditions but above all the cleaning of dust and smog. It deserves greater care and respect and above all the restyling it deserves. (Original) Un cimitero monumentale con alcune statue di grande pregio e di splendido valore artistico. Alcune opere sono del Sartori ma alcune purtroppo con il tempo e con l'incuria hanno perso parte del loro aspetto originale.

Meriterebbe maggior cura e rispetto e soprattutto il restyling che merita.

(Translated by Google) It was built at the end of the 19th century next to, if not against, the decidedly older church of Valverde (13th century), which until the mid-1900s was more than half a kilometer away from the city. The ancient part of the cemetery is monumental, and preserves some tombs with statues by Sartorio (the same author of the war memorial in Piazza Oberdan). In recent times, the same "historical" part has been crowded with excessively modern tombs, somewhat ruining the atmosphere of the place. The remaining contemporary part is like all other cemeteries. (Original) È stato costruito alla fine dell'Ottocento accanto, per non dire addossato, alla decisamente più antica chiesa di Valverde (XIII secolo), che fino a metà del '900 era distante dalla città più di mezzo km. La parte antica del cimitero è monumentale, e conserva alcune sepolture con statue del Sartorio (lo stesso autore del monumento ai Caduti di piazza Oberdan). In tempi recenti, la stessa parte "storica" è stata affollata di tombe moderne oltre misura, rovinando un po' l'atmosfera del luogo. La restante parte contemporanea è come tutti gli altri cimiteri.

(Translated by Google) We took a guided tour of Porto Flavia, a beautiful and well-maintained place. However, the guides' explanations were terrible: they lacked knowledge and were delivered hastily. From the moment we arrived, there were arguments and disagreements among the guides themselves, and even rude comments were used towards us guests for simple directions. It's a shame about the poor explanation of such a beautiful place. (Original) Abbiamo effettuato una visita guidata a Porto Flavia, posto bellissimo e ben tenuto. Tuttavia, la spiegazione delle guide è stata pessima: poche nozioni e dette frettolosamente. Già dal nostro arrivo ci sono state litigate e malumori tra le guide stesse e anche con noi clienti sono stati utilizzati modi sgarbati per semplici indicazioni. Peccato per la pessima spiegazione di un posto bellissimo.

Bravissimi.

(Translated by Google) A small historic church of Iglesias located in Piazza Manzoni and where, in an important version, the splendid feast of the Madonna delle Grazie was held.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately only seen from the outside, so the judgment is necessarily incomplete.

Di sera sembra poco valorizzata, non avendo alcuna illuminazione specifica; la facciata sembra particolare più che altro per come è costruita rispetto al resto dell'edificip, ovvero inclinata.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and well maintained. (Original) Molto bello e ben curato.

(Translated by Google) Historic early Christian church, at the time the only building of worship in the human settlement of the then called "Ville Eclesiae" (500/600 AD). The church was rebuilt in the Middle Ages in what was then called "Villa Eclesiae". The architecture currently presents itself in a late Gothic/Romanesque architectural style, in the seventeenth century the convent of the Poor Clare nuns and the convent of the Franciscan friars were annexed. In the upper part of the facade there are external renovations dating back to the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century Baroque. To visit. (Original) Chiesa storica paleocristiana, all'epoca unico edificio di culto del nucleo abitativo umano della allora chiamata "Ville Eclesiae"(sec. 500/600 d.C.). La chiesa venne ricostruita in epoca medioevale nell'allora chiamata "Villa Eclesiae". L'architettura attualmente si presenta con uno stile architettonico tardo gotico/romanico, in epoca seicentesca venne annesso il convento delle monache Clarisse e il convento dei frati francescani. Nella parte alta della facciata si rilevano rifacimenti esterni databili fra la fine del '600 e gli inizi dell '700 barocco. Da visitare.

(Translated by Google) The church of S. Saturno, later dedicated to S. Chiara and then to the Madonna delle Grazie, is in the historic center of Iglesias, a short distance from the cathedral. There is a lack of documentary information on the layout of the church, attributable to the end of the 13th century. Of the Gothic building with a single nave, rebuilt in the 18th century century, the facade remains (perfectly to the west, 8 m), mutilated of the terminal today in late Baroque forms. The facing is made of medium-sized limestone ashlars, cut with accuracy. From above, shoe-shaped plinth the robust corner pilasters and the two flat pilasters with a semi-hexagonal section rise up, enclosing the architraved and lunette portal, connected by horizontal arching; the lower part of the façade is thus divided into three mirrors. The portal has a semicircular relief arch with eyebrows. The architrave with classical phytomorphic branch decoration rests on capitals decorated like those of the pilasters. The bows have semicircular ring nuts cut flush and wide corbels mostly with flat leaves with a sharp top. In line with the portal there is an ogival window with a hanging eyebrow and light originally mullioned window. (Original) La chiesa di S. Saturno, poi intitolata a S. Chiara e quindi alla Madonna delle Grazie, è nel centro storico di Iglesias, a breve distanza dalla cattedrale. Mancano notizie documentarie sull’impianto della chiesa, ascrivibile alla fine del XIII secolo. Della fabbrica gotica ad aula mononavata, ricostruita nel XVIII secolo, resta la facciata (perfettamente a ovest, m 8), mutila del terminale oggi in forme tardobarocche. Il paramento è in conci calcarei di media pezzatura, tagliati con accuratezza. Dall’alto zoccolo a scarpa salgono le robuste paraste d’angolo e le due piatte lesene a sezione semiesagonale, che rinserrano il portale architravato e lunettato, raccordandosi mediante l’archeggiatura orizzontale; la parte inferiore del prospetto risulta così divisa in tre specchi. Il portale ha arco di scarico semicircolare sopraccigliato. L’architrave con ornato classicheggiante a tralcio fitomorfo poggia su capitelli decorati come quelli delle lesene. Gli archetti hanno ghiera semicircolare tagliata a filo e larghi peducci perlopiù con piatte foglie dalla cima aguzza. In asse con il portale si apre una finestra ogivale con sopracciglio pensile e luce originariamente bifora.

(Translated by Google) Church dedicated to the Madonna delle Grazie with convent of the Capuchin friars. The Piazza Alessandro Manzoni, in front of the church, known as "prazza dei mongiasa" recalls, in the past, the presence of a cloistered nunnery. The first week of July celebrates the anniversary of the miracle that the Madonna performed by eradicating the territory from the scourge of locusts. The memory of my childhood: Father Eugenio, Father Mario, Fra Sebastiano... my altar boy companions: Giuseppe, Efisio, Paoletto, Gianfranco, Ignazio, Pasquale... (Original) Chiesa dedicata alla Madonna delle Grazie con convento dei frati cappuccini. La Piazza Alessandro Manzoni, antistante la chiesa, conosciuta come "prazza dei mongiasa" ricorda, in passato, la presenza di un convento di clausuradi suore. La prima settimana di luglio si festeggia la ricorrenza del miracolo che la Madonna compì debellando il territorio dal flagello delle cavallette.
