Sardinia is a large Italian Mediterranean island with almost 2,000 km of coastline, sandy beaches and a mountainous interior dotted with hiking trails. Scattered across the rugged landscape are thousands of nuraghi - mysterious beehive-shaped stone ruins dating back to the Bronze Age. One of the largest and oldest nuraghi is Su Nuraxi in Barumini, dating from around 1500 BC.

South Sardinia.

The tower was built in 1500 to defend a nearby tuna fish factory from the raids of the Moors.

 

(See other similar towers in my album "Sardinia coastal towers" you find in this page below at right.)

 

The pool you see in foreground is a Carthaginian quarry which the waves filled with water.

Another of the big cruise ships that we kept seeing. This one can take 4216 passengers and a crew of 1733.

Bassa Trinita, La Maddalena, Sardinia

Town of Castelsardo, in the north of Sardinia.

Founded in 1102 by the Genoese family Doria and called Castelgenovese. In 1520 was conquered by the Aragonese (Spain) and so its name changed in Castel Aragonese. Finally in 1717 the Savoy rule named it Castelsardo.
