History[edit]
The territory of Lu Bagnu were settlements in Roman times;[2] the name Lu Bagnu comes from the ancient thermal baths, of which only a few remains are preserved today.[3][4] In modern times, the village has grown considerably since the 80s;[1] this growth is mainly due to the increase in the tourist importance of the locality.
Tourism[edit]
Lu Bagnu is a well known seaside resort, with many tourists, especially in summer for the beaches.[5]
Between 2015 and 2020, two beaches, Sacro Cuore-Ampurias and Madonnina-Stella Maris, received the blue flag (recognition of European seaside resorts meeting quality criteria).[6]
The sandy coastline of Lu Bagnu is very long and differs from other coastal areas near Castelsardo, mainly rocky; west of the hamlet, near Punta la Capra, there are high vertical cliffs.
Main sights[edit]
The parish church of Santa Teresa di Gesù Bambino, built in 2014, is located in Lombardia Street, in the upper part of the village; the church was built using mainly local stones[7][8]
