The town of Pau (Sardinia)
The village of Pau, located 300 meters above sea level, lies on the western slope of Mt. Arci, surrounded by centuries-old forests.
The area is especially known for the presence of obsidian, the volcanic stone used in ancient times for the production of tools and utensils for everyday life.
In the center of the village, the Obsidian Museum is the landmark building, a must-see destination for understanding the formation and history of this extraordinary raw material.
