History & geography

History

Several Nuragic settlements still exist in the vast municipal area, some destroyed, others still in good condition, such as the nuraghes of S'Ulimu, Seddurrulu, and the giants' tombs of Bau 'e Tuvulu. The area also includes a now-destroyed Nuragic settlement called "Lessei," which was still inhabited until 1350. The history of Ulassai, despite all the various dominations, has been that of a simple shepherd's life. Until the end of the nineteenth century, the town was not connected by any road to the outside of the Ogliastra area. Only in 1893 were connections to Cagliari achieved through the railway line.

Geography

Ulassai is located in the heart of the Barbagia sub-region of Ogliastra. At 775 meters above sea level, it is the highest town in Ogliastra. Its municipal territory extends for 122 km², from the town to the border with the Barbagia di Seùlo and to the south in a small strip with the Province of Cagliari. The historic center appears nestled between the large complex of the Ulassai Heel to the north and the imposing Mount Tisiddu to the south. On the slopes of the Ulassai Heel lies a complex system of caves, the most famous of which, the Su Marmuri Cave, with its 1,000 meters of length and its internal concretions, is the main tourist destination in the entire Pardu Valley. During periods of heavy rainfall, the impressive Lecorci Waterfalls flow from a lower slope of these caves.
