Tempio Pausania is a  city of Medieval origin of about 14,200 inhabitants located in the north of Sardinia at the foot of the Limbara Mountain, in the heart of one of the most renowned areas,  the  stunning region of Gallura. It is  approximately 43 km from the other  province capital, the dynamic town of  Olbia, which features a state-of-the-art tourist harbour ( the first in Italy for passengers) and the  modern  airport (Costa Smeralda) providing flights  all over Europe on a daily basis. The typical Sardinian villages of Luras, Nuchis and Aggius are within a short drive. Worth mentioning is the fact that the surrounding area is ablaze with fascinating archaeological sites such as the Bronze Age Nuraghe Majory and the mysterious  Giant Tombs of Pascareddha in Calangianus. All those features make this spot one of the best to buy a property in Sardinia.
The capital  of the recently  created  province of Olbia – Tempio,  is  the  Episcopal headquarters  and  the law court. Its old town is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Gallura, as it treasures  elegant town houses  constructed in 18^th and 19 century,  developed mainly on 2 and 3 levels, lovingly built with the local  granite  and embellished with  balconies fenced with wrought iron railings.
The Tempiesi social life circles around the spectacularly paved Piazza Gallura, which overlooks the town hall,  the suggestive Cathedral of St. Peter and  the Oratory of the Rosary. Once there, it is a must to visit one of the cosy local restaurants since eating out in Tempio is a delight of fresh fruit, vegetables and exceptional Sardinian wine. Another undeniable attraction of this marvellous spot is the annual  Carnival Parade, deservedly considered as the most important one in Sardinia.
Tempio is also highly renowned for the diuretic waters of  Rinagghju and  the extraordinary habitat of the  Limbara Mountain, 1359 metres in height, which attracts numerous tourists and nature lovers. The Municipality of Calangianus, Berchidda and Oschiri constitute with Tempio the National  Park of the Limbara Mountain. Last but not least, the town, together with Calangianus, is the home of a  thriving  cork and granite quarry industry  that exports its valuable products all over the world.
During the Summer period visitors should not miss the chance to jump on the 19 century steam train that leaves from  the local train station to travel  through evocative landscapes,  stopping  along   the lush Gallura famous vineyards  to let tourists sample the wines or the local delicacies and enjoy the rural tranquillity in the warm Sardinian sun before ending its trip in the popular coastal town of Palau.
