Capo Testa

Few places in Sardinia have a history as closely tied to granite quarrying as Capo Testa. This low peninsula faces the Strait of Bonifacio, the narrow stretch of sea between northern Sardinia and Corsica, and is joined to the mainland near Santa Teresa Gallura by a sandy isthmus. Wind and salt have shaped its exposed granite into rounded boulders, fissures and small coves, giving the headland its distinctive form. Roman-era extraction left visible traces in the rock, including cut faces and abandoned blocks. Footpaths cross terrain that remains open to the sea weather rather than urban development.
