Introduction

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk to you about Truncu Reale, a small municipal fraction located in the Sassarese territory, in northwestern Sardinia.

What to see in Truncu Reale

If you decide to visit this municipal fraction, I recommend taking a walk to admire the beauty that this small corner of Sardinia offers. You can make a stop at the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. This church was built in 1473 and was restored in 2010 after it was devastated by the earthquake that hit Sardinia in that year.

Another attraction in Truncu Reale is the cave of San Michele. This cave was discovered in 1953 and was immediately considered a tourist attraction for the peculiarity of its stalactites and stalagmites. Every year, in August, a religious festival takes place inside the cave in honor of San Michele Arcangelo.

To get to Truncu Reale, you can take the state road 131 diramazione 46 bis. By car, it takes about 20 minutes to travel about 10 kilometers from Sassari.

Conclusions

Truncu Reale is a small municipal fraction that offers a lot to its visitors. Its new industrial area makes it an interesting place for those looking for job opportunities in the area. In addition, the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the cave of San Michele are places of great beauty and historical-cultural interest.
