Immerse yourself in the beauty of Perdaxius, a Sardinian municipality with a millennia-old history and captivating landscapes. Located in the core of Sulcis’ mining basin, this enchanting place is surrounded by hilly reliefs framing a flat territory.
The name’s origin could stem from Latin Petrarium, meaning “rocky place,” likely evoking the rocky massif of Mount s’Orcu on which the inhabited center stands. Traces of ancient human presence date back to the Nuragic era, with caves used as tombs at Su Moinu de Perdaxius.
Medieval roots blend with the heritage of Benedictine monks, still evidenced today by remains like the well, the religious house, and part of the stables. Belonging to Sulcis’ curatorship in Cagliari’s Judicature, Perdaxius experienced repopulation around the 18th century after being abandoned like many other inhabited centers in the area.
Today, with a stable population since 1958 as an autonomous municipality, Perdaxius preserves its linguistic traditions tied to Campidanese Sulcitano.
Explore the surroundings and let yourself be captivated by Perdaxius’ magic: a destination that harmoniously merges past and present into an unbreakable bond.
