In Nuoro province: Oliena, Dorgali, Serra Orios (nuraghi). At Sassari, visit the Cathedral, and the Ducal Palace. In the province: Porto
Torres, Tempio Pausania, Castelsardo, Ozieri. Handicraft includes wrought gold (filigree), carpets, and decorated leather goods. Traditional festivals: the Sagra di Sant’ Efisio, the Festa del Redentore, and the Cavalcata Sarda.
