Description
Mountain
village of Ogliastra, Seui is first mentioned in
documents dating back to 1300 under various spellings: “shuy”,
“sechuy”, “Sheuuy”. Nuragic remains are scattered throughout
the territory. Particulary interesting are the
archaeological sites around Tonneri and Montarbu.
The old section in the village centre, with its tortuous
streets of medieval origin and its stone houses and
balconies with wrought iron railings is undoubtedly an
attraction for visitors.

Also of
interest is the museum itinerary which includes the Spanish
prison, “Casa Farci”, the Art Nouveau building from 1900,
and the 19 century townhall with its civic gallery. The
museum houses artefacts of country life, from the world of
sheep-farming, the mining civilisation and local crafts. The
objects on show represent a tangible heritage of customs and
local traditions. In Seui there is one of the oldest railway
stations in Sardinia. It is a narrow gauge railway , the
only one of its kind still operating in the world, for this
alone it is considered a living piece of industrial
archaeology.
