Project: Sardinia - Alghero

The high cliffs and the cloud in the sky. On the top of this cliff can be seen a ball belonging to the Lighthouse up there.

 

Geology: this limestone was formed beneath the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The continent of Europe and the continent of Africa are v - e - r - y g - r - a - d - u - a - l - l - y meeting each other over millions of years. So, the limestone is being forced up.

 

Capo Caccia

Capo Caccia is situated a few kilometres from Alghero, on the southern point of a huge limestone triangle that wedges out into the sea. There are characteristic, impressive cliffs (nearly 300 m high) on its west side.
