Sardinia…the emerald jewel of the Mediterranean!
SARDINIA. Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily. It has nearly 2,000km of coastline, sandy beaches and a mountainous interior crossed with hiking trails. The island has an ancient geoformation and, unlike Sicily and mainland Italy, is not earthquake-prone. Its rugged landscape is dotted with thousands of nuraghi – mysterious Bronze Age stone ruins shaped like beehives. One of the largest and oldest nuraghi is Su Nuraxi in Barumini, dating to 1500 B.C. From about 1500 BC onwards, villages were built around round tower-fortresses called nuraghi. These towers were often reinforced and enlarged with battlements. Tribal boundaries were guarded by smaller lookout nuraghes erected on strategic hills commanding a view of other territories.
