Sant'Antioco
Sant'Antioco, both an
island and a municipality in southwest Sardinia, is steeped
in history dating back to prehistoric times. Once considered Sardinia's second most
important city in ancient times, Sant'Antioco is the island's second
largest after the mainland itself. Connected by a modern bridge, it's about 87
km from Cagliari, the capital city. Explore the island's past at over 30 Nuragic
ruins and Domus de Janas, ancient burial chambers. Significant sites include the Grutti 'e
Acqua Complex, S’Ega Marteddu Nuraghe, and Sa Cipudditta Nuraghe. Discover
remnants of the Phoenician settlement, including the ancient harbor city of Sulki. Roman rule
further enriched the area, making it one of Sardinia's wealthiest. For
shopping, explore the Centro Commerciale Naturale Sulki, a network promoting
open-air shopping and supporting local businesses. Enjoy the relaxed nightlife
scene at Bar Colombo 48, Street Bar, or Bar Fontana Romana.
