Physical Geography
Territory
Ottava is located in Nurra, a beautiful flat area of north-western Sardinia. The fraction is located near the Rio d'Ottava, a river that makes it even more charming.
History
Although there are few sources about it, it is presumed that the village of Ottava was born in the Middle Ages to exploit the flat lands between Porto Torres and the nascent Sassari. Unfortunately, very little remains of the historic buildings from that period, all the more reason to preserve the natural beauty of the area.
Monuments and Places of Interest
Civil Architecture
The Palazzo Romano is one of the remaining civil architectures. It is a large farmhouse that is now used as a sheepfold. Unfortunately, it is at risk of being destroyed by time and lack of care.

The fraction of Ottava is crossed by the Strada statale 131 Carlo Felice, which divides it into two parts.

Sports
Since 1980, the Polisportiva Ottava amateur sports association has been based in the fraction of Ottava, playing in the First Category in group D of Sardinia.
