The Area of Cagliari and Marmilla
The city of Cagliari stands majestically, overlooking the splendid Golfo
degli Angeli. To the west of the city there is the Santa Gilla lagoon,
a marshland of great natural and environmental interest, whilst to the
east there is the Molentargius lagoon,
one of the most important lagoon areas in Europe and home to the pink
flamingo.
The coastline around Cagliari boasts some of the most beautiful beaches
in Sardinia, famous for the fine, white sand and crystalline sea. In
fact, just a few kilometres from the centre of the city there is the
extraordinary Poetto beach, over
12 km. of fine, white sand and clear, blue water.
Cagliari and its surrounding areas offer visitors natural oases of
enormous interest for both the unique flora, as well as the many protected
species, some in danger of extinction, to be found there.
Among the obligatory trips are: The
Giara, Sette Fratelli
Mountains, Monte Arcosu
and Monte di Serpeddì.
The largest plain in Sardinia stretches out to the north of Cagliari,
the Campidano Plain. Even in ancient times this area was renowned for
its fertile land and agricultural vocation. In fact, the Romans called
it "The granary of Italy", and today it is still the most
cultivated area on the island. The whole territory offers delightful
itineraries based on the fine local wines and delicious gastronomy.
