Many of their impressive buildings are still preserved in the town's centre. The most significant monument is undoubtedly the baronial palace, built in the mid-1600s at the behest of the Sanjust family. It has two façades: the first one overlooks Piazza Parrocchia, while the second faces the garden.
The Town Hall, built in the 1930s with a rectangular, two-story ground plan and a facade facing southwest, is another remarkable building.
The Church of the Beata Vergine del Carmelo, located in the northeastern part of the historic centre, and known by locals as Su Cramu, is the town’s key religious monument. The current building was remodelled at the end of the 1700s, with the original dating back to the previous Spanish period. It features the classic Latin cross scheme, with a bell tower standing on the left side of the facade.
Another noteworthy church is San Francesco, located in the old district of Lau de Arriu, built in Gothic style in the late 1600s and once attached to a convent of Franciscan monks. Its simple, square facade features an octagonal window above the main entrance and a small bell gable at the top.
The local district of Teulada (the ancient Tegula of the Roman Age) is located on the coast of south-western Sardinia, covering approximately 250 square kilometres and bordering the municipalities of Domus de Maria, Masainas, Piscinas, Pula, Sant'Anna Arresi and Santadi. The rugged coastline alternates between rocky promontories plunging into the sea and coves with white sand and crystal-clear waters.
This is the southernmost tip of Sardinia, and its capes, Capo Malfatano and Capo Teulada, are of great scenic and natural interest, as are the islets dotting the coast: Isola Rossa, the island of Tuerredda and Ferraglione. The area boasts several wonderful beaches like Malfatano, Tuerredda, Perdalonga, Porto Zafferano, Porto Tramatzu, and the southern part of Porto Pino beach with the dunes of Is Arenas Biancas.
The interior is characterised by hills and mountains – the highest being Punta Sebera (979 metres above sea level). The rest of the district is mainly pastures, uncultivated countryside and woodlands (Gutturu Mannu Park). This area features many small pastoral and peasant hamlets (called medaus and furriadroxus in the Sardinian language), still inhabited by extended families. These include: Foxi, Genniomus, Gutturu Saidu, Is Carillus, Malfatano, Masoni de Monti, Masoni de Susu, Matteu, Perdaiola, Perdalonga, Sa Canna, Sa Portedda, Su de Is Seis, Su Fonnesu.
