What to See in Codrongianos
Codrongianos might be a small town, but it has some interesting places to visit. These spots show off its history and modern technology.
Basilica di Saccargia
The Basilica di Saccargia is one of the most famous and beautiful old churches in Sardinia. It's built in a style called Romanesque. This means it was built a long time ago, usually between the 6th and 11th centuries. Romanesque buildings often have thick walls, round arches, and strong, simple designs. This basilica is a great example of that style.
SACOI Power Plant
Codrongianos is also home to a special power plant called a Static inverter plant. This plant is part of a very important system called SACOI. HVDC stands for High Voltage Direct Current. It's a way to send electricity over long distances very efficiently.
The SACOI system uses a special power cable. This cable connects the electricity networks of three places: the island of Corsica, the island of Sardinia, and the mainland of Italy. The plant in Codrongianos helps manage this important power connection.
