In this stunning setting, you'll find an abandoned mineral processing plant but it's nothing like the image that those words might conjure. These ruins are actually rather lovely and only enhance their surroundings, managing to create an even more arcadian atmosphere. If you are looking for a little slice of paradise, why not find a vacation rental in Sardinia and pay a visit to this incredible resort area?
These ruins are those of the Laveria Lamarmora, an abandoned processing plant, office building with workshops, and a small cluster of houses that made up a village where miners once lived. One of Sardinia’s most interesting industrial archaeology sites, it has even received UNESCO recognition. Established around the 19th century, by 1910, three thousand people lived there, one third of whom worked in the mines. Today there are only about one hundred inhabitants and it is a ghost town, with much of the buildings having fallen into rather picturesque ruin. Built in a Neo-Medieval style with crenulated roof trims and pointed-arch window frames, it looks far older than it is and was actually only abandoned in the 1970s.
Now the area is a resort and popular for hiking and its incredible panoramic views. People come to explore the area and the ruins of the Laveria Lamarmora, with its spectacular location overlooking the sea at the foot of the steep hill.
