Sagama
Welcome to Sagama
Hello friends, today I will take you on a discovery journey of the wonderful town of Sagama. Located in the province of Oristano, in Sardinia, Sagama is a municipality with a millennial history. This small hamlet with a few hundred inhabitants developed in a strategic position, in a fertile valley that offers a charming natural landscape.
A brief history of Sagama
The history of Sagama dates back to prehistoric times when the Nuraghe Muristene and a pagan sanctuary were built. During the Phoenician, Punic and Roman periods, the village of Sagama was equipped with defensive walls that are still partially visible today. In the Middle Ages, Sagama was part of the Curatoria della Planargia, in the Giudicato of Torres, and participated in the Pergamena d'Eleonora, signed in 1388 at the church of San Giovanni Battista in Magomadas. After the absorption of Planargia into the Kingdom of Sardinia, Sagama changed hands until the abolition of the feudal system in 1839.
The resistance of the Sagamesi
During the Edict of the Enclosures of 1820, the Clergy managed to take possession of the fertile land of Badd'e Sagama, but failed to do the same in the plateau of Santu Mikeli-Triganinu, thanks to the resistance of the Sagamesi, Sindiesi and Sunesi shepherds.
The present of Sagama
Today, Sagama is a small municipality of 193 inhabitants that is part of the district of Cuglieri. Despite being a small town, Sagama boasts a cultural and architectural heritage of great value. The Nuraghe Muristene, together with the nuraghi Funtanedda, Mura de Canes, Molineddu, de sos Pascialzos, Nuratolu and Giannas di Flussio, are tangible evidence of the nuragic presence in the area.
Sagama: a hidden treasure
Sagama is a charming place where history blends with the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Nature lovers will appreciate the landscapes of Badd'e Sagama and the surrounding hills, while architecture enthusiasts can visit the seventeenth-century church of arcangelo Gabriele and the defensive walls of the town. Sagama is a hidden treasure of Sardinia that is worth a visit.
Conclusions
Sagama is a small town but has a millennial history of great importance. Its strategic position made it a defensive site during the Phoenician, Punic and Roman periods, while in the Middle Ages it was part of the Curatoria della Planargia. Today, Sagama is a charming place where natural beauty blends with a cultural and architectural heritage of great value. I recommend it to all those looking for peace and tranquility, but also to those who want to discover the millennial history of Sardinia.
