Local History and Nuragic Culture
Tottubella was established in the period after the Second World War based on a unified plan. This particular origin is one of the town’s concrete historical points of reference and complements the view of the older cultural landscape. The Sito di Rumanedda is classified as a Nuragic site in an urban and suburban setting. This connection makes the area especially interesting for travelers who want to consider different periods and forms of human settlement together, without separating the town’s more recent history from the older sites.
Santa Maria Regina and the Festival Tradition
Santa Maria Regina is the patron saint of Tottubella. The celebrations in her honor are scheduled for August 21 and 22, 2026. The festival includes a procession held in Tottubella. The statue was carried on an ox cart and accompanied by flags, around ten horses, the Banda di Sennori and people wearing Sardinian traditional dress. In August, the feast of Santa Maria Regina was also celebrated in Tottubella as an outdoor festival organized by the parish and an association. Those interested in religious customs and community-based culture can recognize in these elements the festival’s particular significance for the town.
Regional Cuisine at the Sagra del Maiale
Local festival culture also has a culinary side. The 3rd Sagra del Maiale was scheduled for Saturday, July 5, 2025, at Piazza Don Giovanni Sanna in Tottubella. The event focuses on dishes made with pork, prepared by volunteers. Together with the celebrations of Santa Maria Regina, this creates a picture of the town in which religious and culinary occasions each have their own focus.
