Sant' Efisio in Cagliari
For lovers of folklore and tradition our properties in or around Pula would be the perfect location in order to participate in the spectacular annual Sagra of Sant' Efisio. At the beginning of May, Sardinia celebrates the festival of Saint Efisio, a Roman soldier martyred at Nora during the Roman occupation. This is one of the biggest religious festivals in Europe and on the 1st May people from all over the island descend on Cagliari where dressed in their colourful traditional costumes they parade in their hundreds through the streets. Either on foot or horseback they are accompanied by extravagantly decorated wagons drawn by enormous oxen. The four hour procession escorts an ancient coach carrying the statue of Sant’ Efisio to the outskirts of Cagliari for the start of the four day pilgrimage to Nora. The towns of Sarroch, Pula and Nora host the 'Saint' throughout the journey and every evening music, dancing and fireworks bring the days' religious festivities to a close.
