Authentic Fishing Village - Slow Food Presidium
Marceddì is a small, but very suggestive, fishing village located on the homonymous lagoon at the southern end of the Gulf of Oristano. This place has made the history of sustainable fishing: in fact, here the Vongola Verace is bred and fished with a selective and sustainable system as well as respectful of the environment. The fishermen with the help of a box with a glass bottom, called a mirror, scan the bottom in search of two small holes in the sand made by the siphons of the clams, they dig with skill using a particular tool to extract the mollusk, which is at about 10/15 centimeters of seabed. For this reason the fishing community has been named a Slow Food Presidium , they work every day to save this native breed from extinction by passing on the production technique and this incredible craft.
- Port Area: In the morning, in the summer season, it is possible to meet local fishermen. It is a great time to discover their unique and sustainable method of fishing.
- Stagno di San Giovanni: Where the village of Marceddì stands. Here the rivers Rio Mogoro and Rio Mannu enter and soften the waters. Coast and lagoon merge with archeology, in a corner of Sardinia that has always been a crossroads of peoples.
- Torre Vecchia di Marceddì: This tower was part of the defensive system of the Gulf of Oristano, designed by Don Marcantonio Camos (governor of Iglesias) at the behest of King Philip II of Spain, due to constant Saracen incursions. For some centuries it assumed the function of a commercial sorting center and subsequently of customs.
During the Second World War the tower was modified according to the needs of modern warfare. Great place to watch the sunset. - Church of the Madonna di Bonaria : It has no great artistic value, but it is revered by fishermen.
- Marceddì Slow Food Presidium
- Patronal Feast of August 20 : On August 20 the Madonna di Bonaria is honored in Terralba and Marceddì, where the fishermen organize a procession to the sea, during which the statue of the Madonna is accompanied on the water by a procession of boats.
