Walk Through Olbia's Historic Old Town
Walk through the streets of the old town and flip through the pages of history, from when the Greeks laid its foundation stone, followed by the Punics, until the Romans finally took charge. Discover how today's neighbourhoods bear witness to ancient sanctuaries, necropolises, and churches, once surrounded by defensive walls that are barely recognizable today. Also referred to as the "Gateway of Sardinia," the town is of both touristic and religious importance, decorated with gorgeous beaches and beautiful countryside. The most important symbol of the religious architecture of Olbia is undeniably the Basilica of San Simplicio, which narrates 1,700 years of history, from its necropolis and underground temples to the Pisan Romanesque building. Wonderful curiosities and anecdotes of this city await you, along with your local guide.
