Barbagia
About this region
Barbagia is a prominent rocky plateau located in eastern Sardinia, south of the city of Nuoro. This multifaceted region is geographically divided into several distinct areas, including Barbagia Ollolai, Mandrolisai, Belvi, and Seulo. Known for its rugged landscape, it represents one of the most traditional and geologically significant areas of the island. The north-to-south division into these four specific districts highlights the topographical diversity of the Sardinian highlands, making it a central geographic feature of the island's interior.
Located in eastern Sardinia, directly south of the city of Nuoro, Barbagia stretches out as an extensive and complex rocky plateau. The region is defined by its rugged, stony character and serves as one of the most important geographical inland segments of the island. The structure of Barbagia is characterized by a clear division into four primary sub-regions, arranged in sequence from north to south. The northernmost part is Barbagia Ollolai, followed by Barbagia Mandrolisai and Barbagia Belvi. The southernmost section of this formation is Barbagia Seulo. This spatial organization illustrates the vast scale of the territory, which reaches deep into the craggy heart of Sardinia. The combination of rocky formations and the division into these specific regional subgroups creates a complex landscape typical of the eastern Sardinian mountain ranges. Due to this topographical composition, Barbagia remains a central element of Sardinian geography south of the Nuoro province.
