Iglesias

A walkable town in southwestern Sardinia with a centre dense with historic churches, cafés, and restaurants, Iglesias was one of the most important royal cities on the island during Aragonese and Spanish rule and remains the seat of a Roman Catholic diocese. The surrounding hills were long the heart of a lead, zinc, and silver mining district, and the wider region holds UNESCO World Heritage recognition.
