The village is situated in the central eastern part of the island,
on the northern side of mount Lisorgoni (918 mt.),
most of it territory is mountainous and covered by ancient
forests.
The "murales" have perhaps become, during the years, the main atractive. It all started as a form of political protest back in
1969, each painting represents its own story from local happenings
to facts of world interest as, for instance, the Vietnam war or the
Tien an men facts although nowadays the latest paintings are
just artistic expressions.
In Orgosolo was born Antonia Mesina, martyr of purity, who was murdered for having defended her virginity. She was beatified in 1987 by Pope John Paul II. Her mortal remains rest in the crypt into the church wich is visited every year by numerous pilgrims.
