ARMUNGIA, SO SMALL AS IT IS
Armungia is located in Gerrei , in the inland part of south-eastern Sardinia, half an hour away from Muravera and its beaches and about an hour from the city of Cagliari. With less than four hundred inhabitants, ours is currently the smallest municipality in Southern Sardinia , located in an area with one of the lowest population densities on the island. Although so small, Armungia is a welcoming, participatory and planning community , custodian of a heritage made of architecture and landscape, monuments and cultural spaces, knowledge and traditions, ties and civic sense.
Its ancient origins are testified by the Nuraghe that still stands today inside the town, an imposing guardian of the territory for more than three millennia. Its history is linked to the great story of Emilio Lussu , a heroic figure of the “Sassari” Brigade in the Great War, founder of the Partito Sardo d'Azione , anti-fascist exile, founding father and writer. Here it is possible to discover the universe of a peasant culture that has now disappeared, be fascinated by ancient rites and traditions , follow paths to discover a harsh and wild territory, rich in colors, scents and panoramas.
The portal [name of the portal] – created within the municipal project financed by the PNRR M1C3, Intervention 2.1 for the Attractiveness of historic villages – aims to tell the history and stories of Armungia, describe its places, present its museums and archaeological heritage . It aims to promote the events that animate its cultural spaces and squares. It aims to indicate the best ways to stay there and discover its typical products . It was therefore created to give life to an integrated vision of the country and project it outwards, preserving the memory of the past and looking to the future.
