Tinnura "Paese del'arte"

A tiny open-air museum village famous for its weaving, murals and Malvasia wine.

The village is an open-air museum of modern art: in its charming streets and cobbled squares, you can admire monuments and statues by Sardinian artists (including Simplicio Derosas and Pinuccio Sciola) as well as picturesque murals painted on the façades of houses, depicting scenes from rural and village life. You will also be impressed by the variety of colours of the paved streets (red trachyte, white marble and grey basalt). In spring, you will see plant fibres exposed to the sun, which are then used in the manufacture of baskets.

 

Tinnura shares the production of asphodel, reed and wicker baskets with another small village, Flussio, to which it is connected by an uninterrupted road. Tinnura, a village of only 250 inhabitants, one of the smallest on the island, located nine kilometres from Bosa, is perched on a basalt plateau overlooking the fertile Modolo valley. Livestock farming and agriculture are the main activities: there are olive groves, orchards and vineyards, which produce excellent quality wines, notably Malvasia.
