Orosei

Built around a settlement on the Cedrino River plain, Orosei grew into a small town linking Sardinia’s inland Baronia district with the Gulf of Orosei. Its historic centre is marked by close-set lanes, stone houses and the parish church of San Giacomo Maggiore, while the surrounding countryside preserves traces of the island’s Nuragic past in prehistoric stone towers. East of town, the Cedrino reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea along a low-lying shore of beaches, dunes and Mediterranean scrub; the protected Bidderosa coastal area is within the municipality. Orosei also provides a useful perspective on the relationship between Sardinia’s agricultural plain and its eastern coast.
