Un viaggio attraverso gli antichi di portali delle case di San Vito

A circuit has been created in order to let people know the ancient portals of the houses of San Vito. It's an initiative of the town cuncil with the aim of getting the tourists in touch with the peculiarities of the urban centre. 

“San Vito has a beautiful territory with no seaports -said Roberto Pili, the chairman of Tourism-. This is why we do our best to valorize everything that makes this area different and original with respect to the neighbouring centres”.


This circuit has been anticipated by in-depth studies and a photo laboratory on the same subject “The result -explains Pili - is that the portals of San Vito have unique features. It is actually the only place in Sarrabus where it's possible to trace numerous portals with the same ancient features, such as granite arches, the original wooden portals with the old handles and the different accessories used to knock on the door.


Depending on the houses these accessories may consist of a lion face, small vipers and other highly artistic creations.

Among all the studied portals some thirty of them will be chosen to make it possible for tourists to go sightseeing and be immersed in the atmosphere of the ancient small towns of Sardinia, where agriculture and pastoral farming used to characterize the economy and the way of life.
