suggestive - Hometown of Mesina which has become famous and a destination for many tourists for its countless murals that decorate the city. These murals often represent social, political and cultural themes, and have become a form of popular artistic expression and a means of telling local history. Orgosolo is also known for the artisanal production of carpets, blankets and textile products typical of the area. Orgosolo hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, celebrating local traditions, folk music and typical food. Participation in such events can offer visitors a deeper immersion in local culture. Small note at the entrance to the town in the name of the place you can see some holes created by gunfire, which obviously concerns the past.

Very creative and exciting - Orgosolo has a very exciting history, which is reflected in the murals. It is worth taking a guided tour or an audio tour. Not necessarily to find the paintings, you can do that yourself, but to find out the background.

Knowing why a mural is there makes you appreciate it more - We did not go with an audio guide, but with Annalisa... an exquisite person in love with her land. The walk among the murals with the explanations and stories to which they are linked was fantastic

Recommended! - Very Nice tour. It's perfectly possible to only ask for explanation on certain murals thanks to the easy interfaces of the audioguide. Two People get one guide with two complete headphones, so you can listen together. 10 EUR/two People.

ScopriOrgosolo Audioguides - My wife and I went to Orgosolo for the murals, they are fantastic! Social commentary, history, resistance and more. The audioguide provided us with important context that allowed us to take in the richness of the area and these works. The business owner is warm and helpful and for $10 Euros, you get a walk-a-your-own-pace tour. It is well worth the modest cost! Enjoy.

Great private tour - We ended up spending about two hours on a walking tour with one of the personal (human) guides named Giovanna. She was absolutely lovely, so well-versed in all of the local art, and clearly knew most of the people in town. This let her take us to some very special areas like the crypt of the church honoring a young women and then to a great cheese shop where this woman makes her own cheese, and then to a place where the last woman who makes authentic silk headwater is still working. Truly worth the e30 per person. Would highly recommend!

One of the Highlights of our Trip to Sardinia! - My husband and I took a spontaneous detour to see the murals in Orgosolo, and we were so happy we did! ScopriOrgosolo Audioguide has a small kiosk in Piazza Caduti in Guerra. The owner of ScopriOrgosolo, Miriam, greeted us warmly when we arrived and explained how the audioguide and tour of the murals worked. It costs 10€ to rent the audioguide, which includes two sets of headphones, and, in our opinion, it was worth every penny! The guide includes a 15-minute intro to Orgosolo and the history of the murals, along with background information on 80 different murals. The information is available in several languages. You can rent the audioguide for up to four hours, which gives you more than enough time to listen to all of the info and enjoy a lunch or a gelato along the way. Because we got there later in the day and had a 1.5 hour drive to our agriturismo afterwards, we only ended up listening to the info for about 50 of the murals. However, we found it absolutely fascinating and look forward to coming back the next time we’re in Sardinia. The murals are vividly painted and reference a variety of local, national, and international events from the 20th and 21st centuries. They include famous quotes and excerpts from poems written in Italian and also the Sardinian language. We learned a great deal from this audioguide and as we think back on our wonderful trip to Sardinia, Orgosolo certainly stands out as one of the highlights.

Murals of orgosolo audioguide - If you visit Orgosolo for the murals you really should spend 10 euros on the audioguide found in the small wooden office in the square where the tour starts. The guide tells you of the history of the town and the murals, the battle between the local farmers and the government to prevent the building of an American air base in this beautiful agricultural and natural plain. Thank goodness they fought for their land as this is a lovely peaceful part of Sardinia. The audioguide brings the murals alive and translates the words and meanings for you. You can meander at your own pace then stop for lunch or a look in the shops then continue on this circular tour. Really worth the money.

Very interesting guide - This audio guide, which can be purchased from a stand in the main square, is extremely helpful in aiding the visitor in understanding the context of the murals in Orgosolo, as well as providing interesting insights into individual murals. The self-guided tour, with accompanying map, takes about 1-2 hours, depending on how quickly you move through the murals, and how many other tourists there are in town! Overall, we thought this guide was very good value (10 euro for two users) and really brought the town and murals to life.

A community insight through art - A must see on any visit to Sardinia. The history of its people and the world all revealed through masterpieces of local artists. The guide highlighted the important pieces and the artist who haven’t signed any of their work. Loved every minute of the tour. Well done everyone
