Iglesias — Centro Storico Minerario

Sardinia

While the Marganai forest outside town has grown back over abandoned mine workings, Iglesias itself preserves a distinct Pisan-founded historic centre with a cathedral and medieval walls, the administrative heart of what was once one of the Mediterranean's major mining districts. The flat streets are easy, separate from the forest walk.
