Explore Sarroch, a charming village in the metropolitan city of Cagliari, nestled along the western coast of the Gulf of Angels, approximately 25 km from Cagliari.
Located at the foot of a modest hill, dominated by a distinctive conical andesitic rock, crowned by a crucifix, offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
In the heart of the village, at Piazza Repubblica, rises the new Parish Church featuring a baptismal font crafted by repurposing an ancient decorated capital adorned with symbols of the Evangelists dating back to the 3rd century.
Perched on a hill east of the town stands nuraghe Sa Domu S’Orcu, consisting of an original tower with a single internal chamber and an elevated spiral staircase, dating back to the early Middle Bronze Age.
Sarroch boasts a rich history that dates back to ancient Nuragic times, showcasing its enduring legacy through various historical periods.
During medieval times, it was part of the Judicature of Cagliari and was included in the curatorship of Nora under the name San Rocco; later transitioning to Capoterra’s curatorship.
Following the demise of the Cagliari Judicature in 1258, Sarroch came under control of della Gherardesca family, prominent rulers in southwestern Sardinia during that era.
