The territory of the Montiferru massif - the largest volcanic complex in Sardinia - extends north of Oristano and connects the fertile Campidano plain to the sea. This is an area with a great agricultural vocation, wisely exploited for the production of agro-food products of all kinds. The small town of Seneghe is sorrounded by vineyards with adjoining vegetable gardens, orchards and pastures that alternate with prestigious olive groves.

​

​The biodiversity of this area is distributed through the various environments and the different altitudes. The town of Seneghe, located on the southern slopes of Montiferru, is blessed with an impressive view. On one side you can admire the Sinis Peninsula and the sea, while on the other side you are at the gateway of the Montiferru massif.

Climbing up the hills toward the mount, the natural vegetation chages in characteristics. Woods of oak and cork trees dominate the scene, together with oleaster and riverine woods. The coastal area of Montiferru is characterised by calcareous cliffs and basalt cliffs, the latter material widely used in the construction of the nuraghi, the prehistoric monuments of the area and the buildings of the inhabited area of Seneghe.

 

This biodiversity is precious from a naturalistic and social standpoint and represent for our people a unique heritage.
