Barrali, located on the boundary between Campidano, the hills of Trexenta, and Gerrei in the province of Southern Sardinia, is a little town with medieval charm, old archaeology, and high-quality wines. The community is located at the base of Mount Uda, which has a green municipal park on top that attracts hikers and pilgrims each year in quest of the location of a church that once stood. An agro-pastoral area of modest and lush hills, farmed with vegetable gardens, orchards, olive groves, and vineyards, is crossed by the Mannu River. While the town is of medieval origin, the Su Musuleu Caves have evidence of human presence dating back to the middle Neolithic, approximately 4,700 BC. Additionally, there are numerous testimonies of the Nuragic age, as evidenced by a watchtower on Mount Uda, another along the road to Donori known as Sa Domu e s’Orcu, and the ruins of Su Mausoleu. In contrast, the ruins of Natali's ancient medieval town are considered medieval. FFor those interested in visiting the village, a good starting point is Casa Maxia, a historic late-19th-century manor typical of Barrali, now a house museum. The Parish Church of Santa Lucia is the most interesting building, dating back to the early nineteenth century, however little of the original structure remains. Santa Lucia, the town’s patron saint, is honored with two annual festivals: the first on the first Sunday of July, featuring a procession of her statue through the streets, accompanied by “launeddas” musicians, and the second in mid-December, focusing on predominantly religious celebrations. Also worth discovering are the so-called General Processions in honor of Corpus Christi and the Assumption, as well as the Easter procession known as “S’Incontru". Another highly anticipated event is the Bread Festival, which gathers interested and returning emigrants looking to reconcile with their families during that time period. On this occasion, visitors can sample the distinctive breads of the Barralese heritage and learn more about the production of other local artisan products, such as the "ladrini", a raw brick used in house construction. And the "ladrini po forru" has a unique shape that was created exclusively for building wood-fired ovens for making bread. Among the cuisine and wine specialties, the high-value wine productions, such as Nuragus and Monica, stand out. Peaches, oranges, apples, grapes, pecorino, and goat meats and cheeses are all worth trying. All are seasoned with the area's renowned extra virgin olive oil. All that remains is to get to Barrali and experience the authentic essence of Sardinia.
