🪨 Sa Perda de is Ominis: il monolite solitario nel cuore di Sant’Antioco

A few kilometres from Palma de Sols, far from the hustle and bustle of the beaches and the crowded footpaths, lies a place steeped in wind, silence and mystery: Sa Perda de is Ominis, ‘the stone of men’. A natural monolith that stands majestically in the centre of the island of Sant’Antioco, like an ancient guardian of the land. 🌬️🪨

📍 Where is it?

In the geographical heart of the island, in a wild, hilly area accessible only via dirt tracks. From Palma de Sols, you can drive part of the way, then continue on foot: just a few steps take you into an ancient world, made of stone, grass and sky.

🧭 Why visit it?

Because Sa Perda de is Ominis is one of those places that speaks without saying a word. Nestled amongst rocks and bushes, this solitary stone dominates the landscape and offers a spectacular view across the whole island. Its name evokes lost stories, ancient encounters, perhaps forgotten rituals. No one really knows what it was. But everyone who visits feels that it is something important.

🥾 What to expect:

• A path through the countryside, amongst mastic trees, rosemary and deep silence

• A gigantic stone that looks as though it has been placed there… by a god

• A 360-degree view of the sea, mountains and salt flats

• An authentic experience, far from it all but close to your true self

📸 Tips from Palma de Sols:

• Make sure you wear comfortable shoes, take some water and bring your camera

• The best time? Dawn or dusk, when the light caresses the rock

👉 Sa Perda de is Ominis is not just a rock. It is a presence, a voice of the earth that endures through time. It is a place to approach slowly, to listen to, and to respect.Parti da Palma de Sols e scopri il lato più ancestrale e spirituale dell’isola di Sant’Antioco
