Museo del Cavallino della Giara
1h
The Museo del Cavallino della Giara (Museum of the Giara Horse) in Genoni preserves the historical and cultural testimonies of the village, linked to the collective memory and the figure of the Giara horse, symbol of the territory. Through Alessio Orrù's images and Sergio Scavio's documentary, the museum recounts life on the plateau, exploring the flora, fauna and the relationship between man and horse. Interviews with the population, transformed into illustrations by artist Pia Valentinis, enrich the exhibition.
Parco della Giara Tuili
3h
The Giara park is famous for its 44 km² basalt plateau and the Cavallini della Giara, small wild horses that live free, lending a unique charm to the landscape. More than 600 little horses are counted as living in the park. The park extends over Genoni, Gesturi, Tuili and Setzu, offering paths through forests and meadows, perfect for excursions to discover the local flora and fauna. The Giara, formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions, preserves traces of Nuragic settlements and nuraghi, making this place an interweaving of natural beauty and millennial history.
