23 MURALS

The mural itinerary “Memòria e Identidade” (Memory and Identity) was born in 2003 on the initiative and under the artistic direction of the cultural association “Sòciu po su jocu de sa murra”.

This art project consistently follows a few rules:

1. reproduction without interpretation and as faithfully as possible;

2. in black and white only;

3. photos depicting people or scenes related to the history and culture of the community.
