Oschiri sits at the foot of Mount Limbara on the shores of Lake Coghinas—a gateway to Gallura and Monte Acuto where lush nature and archaeological mystery blend in perfect harmony. In this village, the landscape is shaped by wind-sculpted granite, cork oak forests, and a body of water that offers views of rare tranquility.
The true highlight of Oschiri is its enigmatic legacy from the past. Here lies the Rock Altar of Santo Stefano (Altare Rupestre di Santo Stefano), a unique and fascinating monument carved into a granite rock face overlooking a holm oak grove—complete with niches, triangles, and engravings whose origins and primary functions continue to puzzle scholars today. Not far away, the Romanesque church of Nostra Signora di Castro stands solitary atop a hill, safeguarding a mystical silence and an extraordinary panorama over the surrounding territory.
The streets of the town center reveal the orderly rhythm of a community proud of its traditions, where hospitality comes naturally and working with stone and cork still represents a strong connection to the land.
Oschiri is the ideal stop for anyone looking to explore a deep, captivating Sardinia—a place where the lake's waters, rocks carved by time, and the echo of ancient rituals create an experience of irresistible magnetism.
