History
The heart of the historic centre is made up of the two main squares, piazza del Popolo and piazza Sas Animas, from which numerous picturesque alleys branch off and lead to the major architectural structures: the church of the patron saint S. Giacomo, the church of the Rosary, the Church of souls and the tower, the old prison, and the “Don Giovanni Guiso” museum. In the centre of the village is the square of the church of S. Antonio Abate with the tower.Orosei is part of the Municipalities of the Cedrino Valley together with Galtellì, Irgoli, Loculi, and Onifai, in which it is possible to admire the rich heritage of Sardinian culture (the Literary Park of the Nobel prize winner for literature Grazia Deledda, the murals, and the archaeological sites).
