The Monte Urpino Park is on the foot of the hill with the same name. The 98-metre-high hill, in the past was inaccessible, isolated from the city and frequented by wolves; that is why people named it Monte Urpino, from ”urpi“ which, in Sardinian dialect, means ”fox“. It was the Marquis Sanjust di Teulada who really cared for the park and started to reforest it with Aleppo pine, distinctive for its perfume. The local Town Hall bought the park in 1939 and it was abandoned until the end of WWII.
