Description

Burgos sits at an elevation of 600m, in the centre of the Goceano historical territory, and has less than one thousand residents. The town, which is situated on a steep slope, is divided into two sections: a more recent section and a typically Medieval one, perched in close proximity to the fortress, with narrow streets and houses with sloped roofs.

It was founded in 1337 at the foot of the Castle of Goceano (or of Burgos), built in 1134 on a granite cliff (650m high) which made it hard to reach.

The landscape is completed by the forests of Badde Salighes and Burgos (extending into part of Bono’s territory). The area is populated by donkeys, both Sardinian and Asinara, Sardinian Anglo-Arabic horses and Sardinian ponies, called Giarab, a cross between the Giara horse and Arabian stallions.

The forest is the setting off point for striking hikes. One of these terminates in a tree-shaded alley leading to the neo-medieval Church of San Salvatore. Other trails will lead on a discovery of the archaeological heritage of an area populated since the Neolithic, as seen from the Domus de Janas of s’Unighedda.

The forest also conceals the majestic Sa Reggia, also called the Costa Nuraghe, a Bronze age site of great importance. It contains a nuraghe, a fortified tower (14m in diameter), a four-towered bastion, a village and an impressive 3m high bulwark, a defensive structure with 70m of the ramparts intact.
