Guided Walking Tour of Carbonia

At your selected time, we'll meet at Piazza Roma to start this guided walking tour of Carbonia. During the walking tour, we'll admire the main monuments of this Sardinian town and learn about its history.

Did you know that Carbonia was founded by Benito Mussolini in 1938? The town was built as a Fascist settlement to control the nearby mines. During their golden age, these mines were the largest energy supply centre in Italy.

We'll walk around Carbonia, admiring the exteriors of emblematic monuments including the Torre Littoria, the cinema-theatre and the Church of San Ponciano, which stands out for its 46-metre tall bell tower.

We'll then continue our tour of Carbonia discovering the Post Office and the Town Hall. Afterwards, we'll walk through the Villa Sulcis Park to visit the ruins of the former house of one of the mine directors. Throughout the tour, we'll learn curious facts about the different places we visit.

After two hours of sightseeing, we'll end our guided tour of Carbonia in Piazza Giacomo Matteotti.
