Villaggio Minerario Normann

The Normann Mining Village, in the town of Miniera San Giovanni a Gonnesa (Sulcis-Iglesiente), is a significant example of settlement linked to the era of Sardinian extractive activity. The context is typical of the historical mining areas: an essential hilly landscape, marked by abandoned industrial structures and a nature that, over time, has regained space among the remains of human activity.
The village was intended to welcome the mine workers and services connected to the production cycle, following the model of mining cities, where houses, work and daily life lived in the same organized system. This sector is well aware of the centrality of the extractive industry in the economic and social development of the territory.
