Madonna Stella Maris

The Madonna Stella Maris of Buggerru is a figure deeply linked to the marine tradition of Sulcis-Iglesiente, where it represents the protector of the navigators and a symbol of spiritual reference for the coastal community. The cult is closely connected to the history of the village and its relationship with the sea.
One of the most characteristic elements is the submerged statue of Madonna Stella Maris, visible during boat trips along the coast of Buggerru. The work emerges from the sea and creates a particularly suggestive image, becoming one of the most recognizable landscapes of the area, especially in the routes towards Portixeddu and the surrounding cliffs.
