Mueggen

Audioguide about the place

Muéggen, called "Muveggini" in dialect, owes its name to the Arabic "munge," which literally means "district of cisterns." This locality is located at the foot of Montagna Grande and Monte Gibele. Although it may seem uninhabited at first sight, Muéggen still hosts large dammusi splendidly restored, a testimony to a glorious past. These buildings are surrounded by extensive and fertile cultivated land. In the 1950s and 1960s, this area was a genuine populated village, where the custom was to gather in houses to dance or listen to music played by small domestic orchestras.

The patron saint of Muéggen is Sant'Antonio Abate, and in his honor, a suggestive little church has been built where Mass is celebrated, according to tradition, on Easter Monday. The small church is documented as early as 1552, but no further information or records regarding its structure have emerged. During the war, the building remained intact, without sustaining any damage.
