Cala Domestica


The south west coast of the Province of Cagliari presents a rugged, lonely coastline.

Between Buggerru and Nebida the limestone cliffs of Cala Domestica stretch for kilometres. The only inlet to interrupt this coastline is divided into two beaches, the smaller of the two is known as La Caletta (the Little Cove).

Near the larger beach visitors can see the remains of the abandoned miners' houses, which were part of a mining complex, now in disuse.

There was once also a small railway, which used to carry the extracted mineral from the mines to the port and awaiting ships. The whole coast is dominated by a Spanish tower which rises up from the rugged, limestone headland.
