Guspini is a large town situated in a mining area, just north of the town of Iglesias.

The ancient history of the original settlement of Guspini is unveiled in the archaeological finds recovered there, which date back to prehistoric times, the Nuragic period and the Punic era.

Besides the fascinating archaeological finds, visitors should not miss the church of San Nicola di Mira, in late Gothic style, which dates back to the fifteenth century.
The local handicraft is also of great interest, especially the production of knives. Collectors come from all over the world to see these local artefacts, in particular the "guspinese" knife, typical of the region. Furthermore, every two years, between the end of July and the first week in August there is a special exhibition dedicated to the "Arresojas" knives.

Visitors to the area should take a trip to the hamlet of Montevecchio, which lies in the centre of a mining complex, once one of the most productive in Europe.
The mines are now in disuse, but visitors can admire the splendid Management Building, which was recently turned into a museum, as well as the abandoned mines.
We also recommend a visit to the Honey Festival, which is held every year at the end of August.
