What makes Olbia Sightseeing Tour with Tuk Tuk (Complete) a unique experience ?
The basilica of San Simplicio, in Olbia, is the most important and ancient religious monument of north-eastern Sardinia and a testimony of the spread of Christianity on the island. Cathedral until 1839, parish church since 1955, it was given the title of minor basilica, in 1993, by Pope John Paul II.
It is dedicated to San Simplicio, the proto-bishop of the city and martyr under the emperor Diocletian.
The building stands in the upper part of the historic center and was built on the ruins of a Roman pagan temple, perhaps dedicated to Hercules. Originally dedicated to the Conversion of Saint Paul, it was the only parish in the Olbies until 1954, when the ancient basilica of San Simplicio was reopened.
The Fausto Noce park is the green lung of the city. With as many as eighteen hectares of greenery, in 2005 it was named the second best green project in Italy.
The Olbia aqueduct was built by the Romans between the I and II centuries. d. C., to collect water coming from the springs of Mount Cabu Abas.
Next to the aqueduct a large settling tank was built, dug completely into the stone and provided with six holes for ventilation. On the sides of the cistern there are two other smaller tanks and a water inlet and outlet. On the arches you can still see the water transport channels.
It is the best preserved Roman archaeological site in Sardinia.
