San Salvatore di Sinis

San Salvatore di Sinis is a unique and evocative village in Sardinia, characterized by its small, single-story houses and a central square. It gained prominence as a location for Spaghetti Western films, lending it a distinctly cinematic atmosphere. The village centers around the church of San Salvatore, which houses a fascinating crypt dating back to Roman times, featuring remnants of an ancient temple and frescoes. While the village appears largely abandoned, it is inhabited and offers a glimpse into traditional Sardinian architecture and a sense of stepping back in time. Its proximity to the archaeological site of Tharros adds to its appeal for history enthusiasts.
