Osilo (Sassari) and the Malaspina Castle

Highlight • Castle

Osilo is located about a dozen kilometers from Sassari, on a hill (one of the three peaks of Mount Tuffudesu) at over 600 m. of altitude; from here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding hills and valleys to the sea. Inhabited since the Nuragic period, Osilo grew in importance in the Middle Ages when a castle was built on the top.
The population, in continuous decline since the last post-war period, today has about 3000 inhabitants and is based on an economy centered mainly on agriculture and breeding (which allows the production and marketing of lambs and quality cheeses, including the famous "pecorino" of Osilo). The local craftsmanship is based on wood carvings and embroidery and lace.Very popular in Sardinia are the oven baked products, both sweet and savory, from Osilo
The castle which overlooks the village, was built at the turn of the 12th-13th century by the Marquis Malaspina, former owners of the Bosa castle. Almost two centuries earlier, in fact, this noble family, originally from Lunigiana, had received large estates in Sardinia from the Pope as a reward for helping to free the island from Arab rule. Today only the remains of the walls and two towers, one square and one round, are left.

Osilo: the “Babbu Eternu” church

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

The “Babbu Eternu” (Eternal Father) Church is a religious (Catholic) building dedicated to the Holy Spirit, but also ensures the divine protection of motorist and truck drivers.
It is located on the climb that goes up to Osilo, just before the town, a dozen km from the town, for those coming from Sassari on the "strada dell'Anglona" (s.p. 72).
The church, recently restored, dates from the seventeenth century, has a single nave, is divided in three bays and outside is supported by massive buttresses.

September 29, 2024,Osilo, The Lord of the Ring(-Tours)

One of the typical beautiful September days, too captivating not to challenge the wind and the climb

Not at all LSD, Ketamine, Peyote or Ergot! Just a nice climb like the one for Osilo done at the maximum speed that legs, lungs and heart allow (and maybe a little more) and visions are guaranteed, complete with a hallucinated look and the feeling of being, in every sense, close to the Eternal Father, as the sign states
