Culture
Monuments, traditions, archives: the living history of Capoterra.
Capoterra's culture is not in a single place. It is distributed across the stones of the Romanesque complex of Santa Barbara (1281), the Liberty-style facades of Casa Melis, the Sant'Efisio processions on May 1st, the costumed dances of the S'Attobiu folk group, and the archives that document the village's refounding in 1655. This page is a starting point to orient yourself.
