This typical small town will appeal to you thanks to its well-finished homes – built of granite stone and considered among the most beautiful in the area – as well as its legends and traditions, still alive here. Traditional singing and dancing faithfully convey old customs, which D’Annunzio described as ‘as ancient as sunrise’.
Aggius is surrounded by granitic mountains on the border between the municipalities of Tempio Pausania, Trinità, Aglientu, Bortigiadas, and Viddalba. This landscape is typical of Gallura’s hinterland: here, Mediterranean scrub prevails, and granitic rocks stand out against the background.
