The village is located in the slopes of the Linas. There are innumerable possibilities to remain enthralled by the variety of natural landscapes while passing through the many paths leading to the highest peaks. Nature reigns supreme here with its colours and fragrances and the infinite variety of its shape.

The many paths lead to such places as the Parco comunale di Perd’e Pibera Municipal Park, Sardinia’s largest where holly oaks and oak trees that are hundreds of years old alternate with the renovated buildings that were once used at the molybdenite mine. Other paths such as the one leading to the country chapel of Santa Severa also lead directly into town. There are numerous archaeological sites that tell stories of thousands of years ago such as the tomb of giants called Sa Grutta de Santu Giuanni, located in San Cosimo. This extraordinary monument, one of a kind on the island for dimension, is positioned in a deeply impressionistic context.

The old town centre still preserves corners and monuments of ancient mystique: the churches of Santa Barbara and Sacro Cuore (Church of the Sacred Heart) and the oldest of all, the chapel of Santa Severa, to which the community is particularly devoted, the many fountains, streets and the imposing flight of steps leading towards the hills. Gonnos also tells of flavours and fragrances of the peasant culture and an ancient land that is proud of its ancient tradition of manufacturing the renowned, excellent extra virgin olive oil as well as olives and innumerable varieties of bread.
