Diga di Santa Chiara

4.7(70 reviews)

About

For a local business in Sardinia, Diga di Santa Chiara, the attraction sits on Via Fiume in Ardauli OR. The dam draws visitors to the inland hills of the island's Oristano province, away from the coastal resorts.

Diga di Santa Chiara is known as a dam and viewpoint, and first-time visitors should expect a quiet engineering landmark rather than a developed tourist site. A 4.7 out of 5 average from 70 reviews places it among the island's well-regarded attractions. Three photographs are attached to the listing. Ardauli lies inland, so reaching the dam from the coastal resorts at Cagliari, Alghero or Olbia involves a drive across the island's interior.

Sardinia's interior is rocky and hilly, with cliffs, coves and small beaches often reached only by boat along the coast. Festas for patron saints bring processions, band music and fireworks through the summer months. Sardinian pecorino, pane carasau flatbread and bottarga appear on island tables.

Greek, Carthaginian, Roman and Arab traces survive across the Mediterranean islands, from Sicily's temples to Sardinia's nuraghe towers. Visitors based in Cagliari, Alghero or Olbia should plan the inland route in advance, since the dam lies away from the main coastal roads.
