Medio Campidano Province

On the southwestern Sardinian ( Sardegna ) coast , Medio Campidano province was created in 2005 from the formerly larger Province of Cagliari.

Like much of rural Sardinia, the province is rather rural and sparsely populated. Agriculture is one of the main occupations in the area, though the area has been known for mineral extraction for centuries.

The Costa Verde on the Mediterranean Sea is a very secluded place where travellers will find a great many beaches to relax.

The province of Medio Campidano has two capital cities, Villacidro and Sanluri. Both towns are rather small agricultural towns with much of the surrounding area covered in fields, vineyards and orchards.

The area nearby Villacidro is notable for its unique crystalline deposits.

The town of Sanluri is a sleepy, little mining village that is home to a trademark 13th century castle that was rebuilt after damage in World War One as well as an important bus exchange site.
