Orgosolo Murals
Murales di Orgosolo
A mountain village whose street walls bear more than 150 political and social murals on herders' struggles and world events, Sardinia's most distinctive street art.
Orgosolo was once known as the 'village of bandits.' Since 1969, villagers and artists have painted murals on house exteriors, covering land struggles, anti-war themes, labour rights and international events. The style is influenced by Mexican muralism and Cubism. There are now more than 150 murals, concentrated along both sides of the main street, Corso della Repubblica. Seeing them all takes 1–2 hours on foot, and entry is free. Local shepherd lunches are available, where you can taste roast suckling pig and Pecorino cheese. Orgosolo is about 40 km from Cala Gonone, so you need a car to get there.
