The town stands on the eastern slope of Montiferru, arranged in a semicircle around the edge of the crater of a volcano. It is immersed in an area rich in woods and streams.
Santulussurgiu is situated just a few kilometres from the splendid Oristano coastline.
Testimony to the area's ancient roots can be seen in the numerous prehistoric remians to be found there, such as the Domus de Janas, Dolmen and Nuraghi. Among the Nuraghi to admire we recommend: Banzos, Mura Lauros de Suba and Zuanna Maddu.
The church of S.Maria degli Angeli rises up in a panoramic position. It dates back to the VI century and boasts a beautiful carved wooden altar. Among the other churches to see there is the small church of S.Croce dating back to the seventeenth century, while the parish church of S.Pietro, in neo-classical style, is from the nineteenth century.

Among the places to visit:

• the museum dedicated to the area's agricultural history, which offers an insight into the socio-economic traditions of the district.
  
  
• the traditional stone houses, which are tall, narrow buildings with beautiful wrought iron balconies.
  
  
• S.Leonardo, 684 m. above sea level, 6 km. from the town. This is a desirable holiday destination, noted for its seven springs of pure water with diuretic qualities and a beautiful park of towering trees (elm, holm oak and chestnut trees).
  
  
• "Sa Carrella 'e Nanti", a horse-race in traditional costume, which takes place in the town, held during the carnival period.
  Horses have always played an important role in Santulussurgiu's economy.
  In the past the animals were used as a means of transport and today the town still boasts a flourishing artisan sector which produces tackle, mouth-bits, saddles and boots, all greatly appreciated by a select international clientele.
