Domusnovas

Domusnovas lies on the edge of the Marganai massif and is best known for Grotta di San Giovanni, a large natural tunnel that was crossed by a road for generations. The town is a gateway to forests, limestone walls and inland Iglesiente trails.

Domusnovas lies where the plains meet the hills of the Iglesiente. The town provides useful services before heading into the surrounding natural areas.

A few kilometres from the town opens a karst cave around 850 metres long, crossed by the Rio San Giovanni. The old road running through the cave is one of its most unusual features.

Holm-oak woods, hills and trails surround the cave area. Marganai makes it possible to spend a full day in nature without travelling to the coast.

The area's limestone walls are also popular with climbers and hikers. More technical routes require experience and suitable equipment.

Domusnovas is a strong stop when travellers are interested in nature and caves. It can be combined with Iglesias or one other nearby inland attraction.
