Inland are the lush forest of Monte Nieddu, which sprawls over granite massifs, and the green expanse of Is Cannoneris, a wildlife oasis repopulated with Sardinian deer and fallow deer and watered by various streams.<br\/>The town, founded around the year one thousand, takes its name from the graceful Romanesque church of San Pietro. Built around the end of the 13th century, it has a single nave with a wooden roof. A bell gable and an oculus adorn the facade. Originally the interior was of terracotta and granite slabs and the floor all paved with stones. Festivities in honor of the patron are in late June. Suggestive are the stages of the Feast of St. Ephisius: the saint&#8217;s chariot, on May 2, passes through Villa San Pietro before continuing on to Nora; on its return, on May 4, it stops at Villa Atzori.<br\/>The first nucleus of the center is Roman, while the area has been inhabited since the Nuragic age: there are three tombs of Giants, su Cuccumeu, Perda e&#8217; accuzzai and su Lilloni, and the still partially buried nuraghe Mereu, on top of a hill on the border with Sarroch, around which there may have been a village. The megalithic tomb, a few dozen meters away, was connected to the settlement. Remains of other villages are at Porcili Mannu and sa Sucraxia, nestled in the forest. The most popular hypothesis is that they are dwellings of Moorish families, subjected by the Romans to forced labor in the Sulcitan mines. Near the remains of the dwellings is a necropolis. In the historic center are a number of ancient buildings built with unfired earth bricks, which are now being upgraded by the municipal administration; one of these buildings has been acquired by the municipality to carry out its recovery and reuse.           <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13416,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-13413","citta-della-terra","type-citta-della-terra","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/terracruda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/citta-della-terra\/13413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/terracruda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/citta-della-terra"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/terracruda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/citta-della-terra"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terracruda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/terracruda.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
