Anglona is a historical region in the north of Sardinia overlooking the Gulf of Asinara. The territory is characterised by a mainly hilly morphology, comprised of small plateaus of volcanic or calcareous nature, overlying a tufa bedrock.
The coastline alternates between sandy beaches and rocky crags.
The region of Anglona has numerous sites of great cultural interest such as Doria Castle in Castelsardo, which houses the Museo dell'Intreccio dedicated to the production of wicker baskets, the gothic co-cathedral of
Sant’Antonio abate in Castelsardo, the Malaspina castle in Osilo and many examples of the Nuragic civilisation such as the sacred well of Predio Canopoli in Perfugas and over 100 nuraghi dwellings scattered across in the region.
The region is also home to the Anglona Meilogu Forest Complex, managed by the Forestry Authority which is comprised of numerous bodies relating to five management units in the municipalities of Castelsardo, Sedini, Tergu, Nulvi, Giave, Cossoine, Mara, Banari, Osilo and Sennori.
It covers a total area of approximately 2156 hectares.
