Museo del Sughero / Cork Museum, Calangianus How is it possible that Calangianus, a remote town in the Gallura hinterland, was included in the last century among the 100 most industrialized municipalities in Italy? The answer is very simple: cork. The process, which officially began in 1851, soon made Calangianus a fortune: in a short time, workshops were built that employed hundreds of people from the surrounding villages. Finally, this resource, which had always been so widespread in the region, was exploited on a large scale. In fact, in 1906, cork was successfully presented at the International Exhibition in Milan. The first edition of the Cork Fair dates back to 1978. Text / Source: Ministro del Turismo Republica Italiana https://www.italia.it/it/sardegna/museo-del-sughero

The Monti - Calangianus railway, a short line of only 27 kilometers in length, was originally part of a longer network connecting the main centers of the Gallura interior, which reached as far as the town of Tempio Pausania.

Lake Coghinas is an artificial lake that collects water from the Rio Mannu and the river of the same name. It was built in 1927 under Mussolini, to build a hydroelectric power station. The dam is 185 meters long and 58 meters high. On the eastern bank of the gorge you can see an Art Nouveau villa that housed the director of the plant, which was then abandoned.
