Torpè is a Baronia village in the Rio Posada valley a few kilometres from the sea, medieval in origin in the Giudicato of Gallura. Its old centre gathers around the parish church of the Madonna degli Angeli, rebuilt in 1793. The territory includes Lake Posada with the Maccheronis dam and part of the Tepilora Park, with woods and trails, and holds rock-cut tombs and many nuraghi. On the evening of 16 January su fogulone is lit for Sant'Antonio, and on 1 May a horse race with daring riding displays is held.
