Ceramics : the first finds of terracotta objects date back to the Punic period in the area of ​​S. Andrea, but the most important remains are those found in the Sa Mura area. In this alluvial area there are traces of constructions in which many ceramic finds were found very useful for the reconstruction of Assemini's past.

Among the traditions handed down by the ancient peasants, the ceramist's craft covered a very important importance: in fact, all that could be achieved with the "sa roda" wheel and hands, with the sun and the fire, in particular "su strexu "(Casseroles, bowls, pans, pitchers, flasks," tuvusu "and others) made Assemini an exceptional ceramic center in the Region. The typical place of production of ceramics was the courtyard, where there were the well for the extraction of clay, the tanks for decanting and polishing, the lathe, the roof to dry the vases and the wood-fired brick oven raw cylindrical of oriental derivation. During the Middle Ages, the corporations, called "Gremii", regulated the creative and commercial activity of the "strexiaus" with statutes and regulations, imposing the obligation not to change the forms and not to modify the fixed fees. Around the twenties there were some transformations in the process of working the clay created by Efisio Melis, which gave the ceramics a new aesthetic and utility. The novelty was immediately exploited for a large-scale production, so begins the activity of the pottery workshop of Assemini. Terracotta still today represents the main production of the asseminesi potters. Next to the typical vases, jugs, pans and basins, jars and dishes decorated with wave graffiti and geometric figures that show the motifs of the local tradition, there are enamelled and hand-decorated ceramics, with colors and friezes that distinguish the craftsmen from each other, true artistic productions. Laguna di Santa Gilla : the lagoon of Santa Gilla, located in the western part of Cagliari, has a significant historical, scientific and naturalistic importance. It extends for about 10 km to the mouth of the Rio Cixerri and the Rio Fluminimannu, which feed it.

In the waters of the pond the Phoenicians landed in the very distant VIII century BC, and here the first urban settlement of the Carthaginian Carales was born. During the judicial period Santa Gilla knew its greatest importance. The lagoon area, sheltered from the terrible Islamic incursions that raged on the coasts, was chosen to establish the capital of the judicial kingdom of Cagliari, Santa Igia.

With the arrival of the Pisans, who destroyed the city in 1258, transferring the center of power on the hill of Castello di Cagliari. The lagoon of Santa Gilla is only part of the large pond of Cagliari (the largest of the island) that reaches more than 3,000 hectares of surface. In addition to the lagoon it includes the salt pans of Macchiareddu and the small Capoterra pond.

The lagoon has a significant fauna value. There are rare species of water birds: the cormorant, the avocet, the sultan chicken, the stilt of Italy and especially the pink flamingo that also frequents the Molentargius pond. Monte Arcosu : with its 3,000 hectares, the nature reserve of Monte Arcosu is already the largest Italian oasis, but could grow further, as it has already been identified another forest, in some respects even more beautiful, behind Monte Lattias, the highest peak in the area with its 1,086 meters. There are another 600 hectares that the WWF intends to acquire. An immense reserve, considering that there are national parks in other European areas, such as in England, which do not exceed 1,000-1,500 hectares of extension.

It is located in south-west Sardinia in the territory of Uta, Assemini and Siliqua.
