The Olbia Casermette
The former ‘Casermette per truppe di passaggio’ (barracks for passing troops) in Olbia are a building complex of significant historical interest, closely linked to the war period. Built between 1940 and 1949, these dwellings served a strategic function for years, housing militias in transit, a tangible sign of Olbia's military and logistical past. After decades of neglect, which had turned them into a decaying complex, although protected as a cultural heritage site, IOLAO S.r.l.s. undertook their regeneration.
Today, we honour their history by bringing these spaces back to life: no longer barracks, but a modern and vibrant centre for training, culture and hospitality at the service of the community, students and visitors.
