Anglona

Anglona is a historical region in northeastern Sardinia, Italy. It is situated in the province of Sassari and is characterized by its rolling hills, Mediterranean scrubland, and ancient villages. The territory of Anglona is bordered by the Logudoro region to the west and south, and by the Gallura region to the east. The northern part of Anglona faces the Asinara Gulf.

The area has a rich history dating back to prehistoric times, with evidence of Nuragic civilization. During the medieval period, Anglona was part of the Giudicato of Torres, one of the four independent kingdoms of Sardinia. Its strategic location and fertile lands made it a significant area for agriculture and settlement. Over centuries, it has been influenced by various dominations, including Pisans, Aragonese, and Spanish rule, before becoming part of the Kingdom of Sardinia and later unified Italy.

The landscape of Anglona is predominantly rural, with agriculture, particularly viticulture and olive cultivation, being important economic activities. The region is dotted with small towns and villages, many of which retain their traditional Sardinian character and architecture. Notable centers include Perfugas, Laerru, and Bulzi. The archaeological heritage is a significant feature, with numerous Nuragic sites, ancient churches, and remnants of Roman presence. The natural environment offers opportunities for rural tourism and experiencing authentic Sardinian culture.
