The Franciscan Route in Sardinia
The Franciscan Route in Sardinia
The Franciscan route in Sardinia was created to retrace the ancient paths that were taken daily by the friars. The routes touch convents, churches, and special places of devotion on an island where there are still dozens of active fraternities among the orders and secular Franciscans. It unfolds along a long itinerary that starts in the Nuoro area and reaches the province of Oristano, and continues from Alghero to Pula.

A new type of tourism: made up of the faithful in search of spiritual places.
Religious itineraries are born to satisfy the need of tourists to come into contact with nature and to seek out places rich in spirituality. The Franciscan Way in Sardinia with its stages connects many parts of the island, creating one of the most evocative religious itineraries, retracing the traces of the order of the Saint of Assisi.
