Italy Abandoned Scala Di Giocca Cement Factory, Sardinia
This richly detailed location offers countless opportunities for capturing perfect shots of this abandoned place. With an area of 80,000 square meters, you could easily spend hours exploring and photographing its intriguing features.
Lots of times it is so dark, you can't seen anything, which makes it even more adventurous here.
There's also a chemical laboratory with lots of remains. Just great.
"The cement factory at Scala di Giocca, constructed in 1956 and inaugurated in 1957, stands as the most imposing monument of industrial archaeology in Sardinia. Located along the SS 131 between Sassari and Cagliari, it is recognizable by its three large chimneys. Covering an area of about 80,000 square meters, the factory employed nearly a thousand workers in the 1960s and 1970s. After a gradual decline starting in the 1980s, the plant eventually closed, though some employees remain on furlough. Owned by Italcementi, the site is currently off-limits, but various redevelopment projects are under consideration. The factory, historically significant and visually striking, appears particularly evocative at sunset when the chimneys turn red before fading into darkness—a symbolic end to Sardinian industry."

Photography Tips
Bring a fast wide angle lens, as well as some others, a tripod and torches as it will be very dark in some parts. A Drone would be also nice, as you can fly everywhere, if you dare.
Travel Information
It's is very easy to access. Park your car anywhere where I marked it- No people here. The entrance is easy: Look left at the main gate and you'll see some broken bars. Either use this hole or just climb over the gate.
Wear long trousers and good shoes!!! There's sharp stones, glass, rusty metal all around and it is easy to get injured.
