Chiesa di Santa Maria di Flumentepido

The Church of Santa Maria di Flumentepido is a religious building of great historical value located on a small hill in the rural town of Carbonia, in the heart of Sulcis Iglesiente. Church of Santa Maria di Flumentepido is one of the oldest testimonies of the area, with medieval origins that deeply bind it to the history of the landscape and rural settlements of the area.
Its dominant position on the valley of the Flumentepido rio gives it a strong landscape impact, making it a point of visual reference as well as spiritual. The link between the church and the territory is evident also in the same toponomastica, which directly recalls the water below. It is a place that preserves an aura of authenticity and historical continuity, where the religious dimension merges with the rural and natural dimension of the surrounding context.
