Baccu Locci's mine
The mine of Baccu Locci is an emblematic example of classical mining architecture in Sardinia, dating back to the early twentieth century.
Along the Route 125, just before the bridge over the Rio Corr'e Cerbu, and after about four miles of dirt road accessible by car, we arrive at the abandoned mine of Baccu Locci, a recognized UNESCO site.
The village lies in a landscape of extraordinary beauty, characterized by the presence of deep valleys, where the typical Mediterranean vegetation prevails.
The mine, which remained in operation until 1965 for the extraction of arsenopyrite, includes about thirty historic buildings and a wealth of rare industrial facilities for mining.
Worthy of note: the washery and the small artificial basin located below the wild peaks of the Upland of Mount Cardiga.
