Fordongianus is a village on the Tirso built of red trachyte, heir to Roman Forum Traiani, named in honour of Emperor Trajan. Its Roman baths, fed by hot springs that still flow at over fifty degrees, are among the best preserved in Sardinia, and a modern spa has opened beside them. In the village you can visit the Casa Aragonese, a 16th-17th-century mansion in red trachyte, and just outside stands the church of San Lussorio, with a crypt linked to the saint's martyrdom. San Lussorio and Sant'Archelao are celebrated on 21 August.
