S’Ozzastru
Among the oldest in the world, experts estimate its age at between 3000 and 4000 years. The “Great Patriarch” is considered the oldest Millenary Olive tree in Europe.
In 1991 it was declared Natural Monument and included in the Ministerial Decree for the Region of Sardinia among the 20 secular trees.
It is located in the locality of Karana, near Lake Liscia, not far from the Church of Santu Baltolu.
This site is one of the favorite destinations for tourists who over the decades have made the majesty of the wild olive known throughout the world.
S’Ozzastru, is the typical name given by the inhabitants of Luras themselves. The wild olive tree was born from seed, today it measures 14 meters in height, 18 meters and 60 centimeters of circumference of the trunk at the base, 11 meters and 16 centimeters of circumference of the trunk at breast height and the foliage covers 600 square meters of surface.
From the gnarled heart of the trunk spring several long emerged roots, which secure the green giant firmly to the ground. The irregular foliage laps the ground on one side and rises on the other, as if looking at the wonderful panorama of Lake Liscia.
A second olive tree, over 2000 years old, measures 8 meters high, 1315 centimeters at the collar, 820 centimeters of the trunk at breast height. Closing the group of centenarians is another plant over 5 centuries old.
