An intense, citrus smell welcomes the numerous tourists who regularly visit this beautiful area of Montiferru, at the foot of which is located the town of Milis.  It is only a few kilometres from Oristano and makes use of its favourable geographic position amidst the particularly fertile territory crossed by the Rivers Mannu and Cispiri. 
It also has an antique handicraft tradition and has been distinguished for many years for its intertwining woodwork.  The church of St. Paul and the Boyl Palace are interesting monuments. 
The church was built in the form of a Latin cross during the XII Century.  It's aisle-less and the lateral chapels constitute its transept.  There is an underlying apse and a wooden-trussed roof covering.  Its external walls are dichromatic rows, typical of Tuscan architecture in the Medieval Period. 
The Palace was named after it architects Carlo and Vittorio Pilo Boyl and owes its fame to the great interest shown in it by nobility and artists including Vittorio Emanuele, Carlo Felice, D'Annunzio and Grazia Deledda who, during the nineteenth-century, regularly frequented the residence. 
It was an important centre during the Middle Ages when it was the Giudicato di Arborea's chief administrator's town.  It would seem that the small, gothic-Aragonese parish of St. Sebastian the Apostle also dates back to this period. 
Milis' costumes are quite appreciated and can be admired during the celebrations in honour of St. Anthony of Padua (June 13th), St. John the Baptist (June 24th) and the Saints Peter and Paul (June 29th).  The second Sunday in July, a celebration is held in honour of Our Lady of Buoncammino in the homonymous rural church and includes a solemn procession and offers typical sweets and wine.
