IL PARCO GEOMINERARIO
L’area del Sulcis lies in the south-west over an area of \u200b\u200babout 1,450 sq km, an integral part of the wider geographical region of historical Sulcis-Iglesiente. It takes its name from the ancient Punic city of Sulci Sulcis or Sant'Antioco today. The
Sulcis itself corresponds to the south-west of the mountains of Sulcis and the plain below to the coast overlooking the Strait of Sardinia, from the Gulf of Gonnesa at Cape Teulada, including geographical affinity for the islands of San Pietro and Sant 'Antioco.
The geology is complex because of its ancient origins dating back to about six hundred million years (Cambrian): the morphology is characterized by measurements of low altitude between 600 and 900 meters, with the exception of some peaks over 1000 meters spared from erosion surface magmatic intrusion and metamorphic Hercynian orogeny first originated. The western side is softened by erosion and flooding while the inner part of the eastern side is more rugged and uneven. In the western side are the oldest formations and carbonate island karst phenomena (caves Zuddas).

events subsequent to the Carboniferous and the Permian, represented post-Hercynian erosion and tectonic uplift of the Cenozoic resulted in the emergence of magma intrusion (leucograniti) and metamorphic (schists), making it uneven and irregular morphology of the eastern section.
The highest peaks, easily observable from the flat Cixerri, the Middle Campidano Iglesias and surveys, can be identified easily in the solid monolithic Monte Arcosu with trapezoidal profile and jagged peaks of Mount Lattias. Farther west is the triangular profile of Mount Isa Caravius; formations further west culminating with smooth contours and Punta del Monte Orri Orbai. The area includes the territories
appartenenti ai comuni di Assemini, Calasetta, Capoterra, Carbonia , Carloforte, Decimomannu, Domus De Maria, Giba, Masainas, Narcao, Nuxis, Perdaxius, Portoscuso, Piscinas, Pula, Santadi, Sant’Anna Arresi, Sant’Antioco, San Giovanni Suergiu, Sarroch, Siliqua , Teulada, Tratalias, Villamassargia, Villaperuccio, Villasor, Villa San Pietro e Uta. Anche in quest’area del parco l’attività mineraria è stata molto intensa soprattutto a partire dalla metà del 1.800, raggiungendo il culmine negli anni cinquanta/sessanta arrivando alla definitiva loro chiusura negli anni settanta e ottanta.

In between there are numerous mining sites which deserve special mention for their importance giacimentologica, Serbariu of the coal (carbon) and to those metal Rosas (Narcao), Orba (Villamassargia) . Other sites less complex in terms of the size of the ore body, but just as interesting to the mineralogical characteristics are those of San Leone (Capoterra), Head Beak (Carlisle), Sa Marchesa (Nuxis). The
Sulcis also has an interesting geological-natural heritage due to the presence of nature reserves (Monte Arcosu), natural monuments (LR n. 31 of 06/07/1989) as columns (Carlisle), Domo andesitic Acquafredda (siliqua), sites of Community importance Promontory, Wetland and Dune Porto Pino (Sant'Anna Arresi) Wetland Is Pruinus (Sant'antioco).
Numerous archaeological sites in the presence of Sulcis deserve special mention including the necropolis of Montessu (Villaperuccio), Pani Loriga (Santadi), Phoenician-Punic fortress of Monte Sirai (coal), Archaeological Area Sant'Antioco.
