Festa del Borgo and Sagra del Civraxu in Sanluri

Tradition and identity in the heart of Sanluri

On September 27, 2026, the historic center of Sanluri returns to the spotlight with the 29th edition of the Festa del Borgo. The event takes place along the streets surrounding the medieval castle, a strategically important building dating back to the 12th century, offering an authentic glimpse into local culture. The event is designed to preserve and transmit collective memories through the storytelling of ancient crafts and the re-enactment of traditional popular games.

The art of bread making: the Sagra del Civraxu

At the same time, the 8th Sagra del Civraxu is held, dedicated to promoting the typical local bread. Civraxu, the flagship product of Sanluri's baking tradition, is the focal point of a journey that illustrates the entire production cycle, from the selection of wheat varieties to the manual kneading of the dough, up to the crucial phase of wood-fired oven baking. This celebration offers a technical and sensory overview of the historical relevance that this cereal has played in the agricultural economy of the Medio Campidano region.

Experiences in the village

Visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an architectural context that still preserves the elements of ancient urban planning intact. The day unfolds through food and wine itineraries aimed at discovering zero-kilometer products, fostering direct contact between agricultural producers and the public. In addition to tastings, the program includes practical demonstrations of craftsmanship, allowing attendees to observe live food processing techniques that are now rare. The Festa del Borgo represents a moment of synthesis between historical preservation and territorial promotion, acting as a privileged observatory on the resilience of Sardinian traditions. Access to exhibition areas and guided tours is organized to ensure optimal use of public spaces in the city center, while enhancing the indissoluble bond between the community and its rural roots.
