Porto Flavia

Porto Flavia is one of Sardegna’s wonders. This extraordinary monument of industrial archaeology looms over an enchanting coastline, gifting visitors with a breathtaking vista of the thousand-shaded blue Masua sea, and on the evocative Pan di Zucchero sea stacks, a natural monument 133 metres (440 ft) tall. A genuine engineering masterpiece which improved miners’ life condition and reduced mineral transportation times and costs. The port was given its name by engineer Cesare Vecelli. He gave the port his daughter’s name. The port was operational until the 1960s.

I was lucky enough to walk-in on an off season day, and got in without reservation. I took the tour in Italian (being my first language), and the guide was excellent. (There was a tour in English, but I cannot vouch for that). Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, and her presentation was informative and pleasant (not mechanical as some guides who memorize the information). The parking area is just before and you have to walk a couple of minutes to the entrance. There is a food truck for snacks, sandwiches and drinks. I did not visit the public toilets but watched some other visitors not being impressed and turning away.

Il Parco Archeominerario di San Silvestro

Reviewed By Brun066 - Florence, Italy

Much has already been written by the reviewers around this park, which overall seems to me one of the best organized Italian cultural parks dedicated to mines. Here I would like to underline the role that has been assumed in promoting and then realizing this park by the archaeologists of the University of Siena, starting from 1970; and especially by prof. Riccardo Francovich (1946-2007), full professor of Medieval Archeology. Francovich conducted the excavation and organization of the scenic medieval mining village of Rocca San Silvestro, which today is the highest settlement in the Park territory, and an outstanding topographical reference point for it; and that, however, until 1984 it was not even recognized by the Italian national service for the protection of monuments ("Soprintendenza"). Gradually, around this focus of archaeological research and discovery, he promoted - also encountering great difficulties - also the enhancement of the post-medieval mining structures that are visited today; such as the "Temperino" mine, the Temperino-Lanzi mining tunnel, now crossed by the train for visitors and in the past by the mineral carts, the "Valle dei Lanzi" where the ore was worked. It seems important to me to be aware that what we visit is substantially due to the passionate commitment of one person.
