The basilica of San Simplicio, in Olbia, is the most important and ancient religious monument in 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, proto-bishop of the city and martyr under the emperor Diocletian.
The Olbia aqueduct was built by the Romans between the 1st and 2nd centuries. d. C., to collect water from the springs of Mount Cabu Abas.
Next to the aqueduct, a large settling tank was built completely dug out of the stone and provided with six holes for ventilation. On the sides of the cistern there are two other smaller tanks and a well for water inlet and outlet. On the arches you can still see the water transport channels.
It is the best preserved archaeological site from the Roman age in Sardinia.
Near Olbia and the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, stands a prehistoric monument dating back over 4 thousand years ago, which evokes the head of a bull, a Nuragic divinity
The Castle stands on a rock of 89 meters and characterizes the whole southern part of the Olbiese basin.
Its origin dates back to between 1296 and 1322, in the period of Pisan-Aragonese domination during the rise of the Visconti family.
