Former airfield

One of the oldest airfields in Sardinia was located near Borore ( ⊙ ). It was set up in 1919 to handle air mail traffic between Cagliari- Monserrato and Sassari -Ottava and Terranova . In 1940 the Aero Club Cagliari was moved from Monserrato to Borore due to the Second World War for reasons of space and security, where it was active until 1942. From 1942 to 1944, Italian, German and Allied military squadrons used the airfield for a short time, after which it was orphaned for most of the time until it was officially closed in 1996. Horse races have been held on the site in recent years .
