Discover Siniscola: A Vibrant Gem in the Heart of Baronia
Nestled along the stunning coast at the base of the majestic Mount Albo, Siniscola stands as a dynamic hub just a stone’s throw away from Olbia. Over the past few decades, this city has undergone a significant transformation, evolving from an agricultural economy to a bustling center where industrial, commercial, and tourism activities thrive.
In centuries past, Siniscola held a prominent position. Historical records from the Pisan era dating back to 1317-18 highlight its economic and agricultural importance, revealing that in the 14th century, it was one of the most vital centers in the Gallura region.
The ancient medieval village is believed to have been located in the present-day central urban nucleus along Via Sassari. The presence of names like “sa porta” and “sa turrita” hints at defensive walls likely erected in the 16th century to fend off pirate attacks.
