Tempio Pausania

Tempio Pausania (Tempiu in gallurese) is located in northern Sardinia, in the Gallura region. It has recently become the administrative capital (together with Olbia) of the new province of Olbia-Tempio and is connected by national roads with Sassari (SS 672), Olbia (SS127) and Palau (SS133).

Tempio has an ancient history and is the center of one of the two main areas that remained safe from Phoenician colonisation. Typical granite-stone architecture of the historical centre presents many similarities with southern Corsican towns.

The "carnevale timpiesu", with traditional parades, a King George burned at the stake, and distribution along the streets of typical pancakes with honey called "frisgjioli longhi" accompanied by "vermentino" wine.
