The Giara and hes beautys
Among
the upland plains and hills in the fertile Marmilla plain, marked by the Rio
Mannu (torrent) most impressive is the upland plain called
Giara.
It is the wider one of the area, with an extension of about 45 Km square, raising up from the surrounding plain in a sort of natural monolitic fortress for about 500 mt. height.
It is constituted by basaltic rock with volcanic origins and covered by all the typical species of the Mediterranean flora (cork oaks, wild pear, bushes, myrtle, cistus,……, ) including the popular Eucaliptus trees.
What makes this upland plain most popular is the presence of its famous wild horses, which are much smaller than the others. The origin of these little horses is uncertain, they were probably imported by the far East, what is sure is that they live on the upland from time immemorial.
And the little wild horses were already there when the place was garrisoned by the most ancient Sardinian population the Protosardus, as shown by some archaeological sites, even though less important than the ones in the surroundings.
