Bugerru

Buggerru combines a rugged Mediterranean shoreline with the industrial imprint of a former mining town, reflecting its position on Sardinia’s south-western coast. Once an important centre for lead and zinc extraction, it became the site of the 1904 Buggerru massacre, when soldiers fired on striking miners. The Galleria Henry, a mining tunnel above the harbour, recalls the era when ore moved from these hills toward the sea. Beaches and coves lie beneath the coastal cliffs, while the old settlement remains closely tied to its working past.
