Cagliari, "City of the
Sun", spread out along its spectacular gulf, sums up the history and
traditions of Sardinia, of which it is the capital.

Its origins date back to the Phoenician-Punic period, and today it still
preserves impressive Roman ruins, such as the majestic amphitheatre and the
unique Grotta della Vipera. The Pisan towers of the 14th century along with
the powerful Spanish castle, in their dominating positions, distinguish the
town's landscape.
The historic quarters, around the ancient Aragoneses fortress, maintain
their original medieval appearance and offer panoramic glimpses of rare
beauty.
The numerous folklore, sport and cultural events; museums, among the most
important those of archeological nature; the great beach in Poetto, one of
the most beautiful in Sardinia; the tourist port, known as one of the best
places for sailing; its extraordinary mild climate throughout the entire
year; make Cagliari one of the most interesting and attractive places in
Italy. |

Soon,
as the road winds close to the sea, we come upon a glorious view: the
promontory of Cape Carbonara lies in the distance as well as the Island dei
Cavoli, and the Is Piscadeddus reef. Villasimius is now close at hand.
Colours become more intense: from the dazzling white of the sandy beaches to
the grey and pink of granite rocks, from the deep green of the Mediterranean
bush vegetation to the cobalt blue and emerald green hues of the sea.
We can smell in the air the intense perfume of myrtle, lentisk and broom; it
is the scent of the Sardinian land, which visitors already feel as they
approach the coast on the ferry boats.
A never ending summer season. Villasimius welcomes the visitor with its wild
beauty, with its ancient heritage, which makes it so different from mainland
Italy. |
