The small church dedicated to the Virgin Carmelo, built in the XVII century, is immersed in the green of the pine forest that rises above the high part of the town.
It is one of the most impressive destinations in the town of Villacidro, due to the beauty of its panorama that can be admired from its churchyard and the freshness of the air there. The small church comes to life especially in July, a time of celebrations to honor the Virgin. During this period pilgrims meet up at the chapel for prayer and to breath in the fresh breeze that according to legend, never settles through out the entirety of this festive period.
Author’s words
…Only the elderly and the children took the sheep to pasture, yet they did not venture beyond the pine forest’s boundary and the Madonna del Carmine church. Up there, where ones gaze wondered, the mountains were deserted, and she knew that and suffered because of it, as she felt as if she were all alone in that desolation. (Giuseppe Dessì - I passeri)
