La Maddalena

La Maddalena combines a low-lying coastal setting with the urban pull of nearby Cagliari in a way that reflects its position between the Gulf of Cagliari and the Santa Gilla lagoon in southern Sardinia. This is not the granite island town of the same name in northern Sardinia, but a small settlement in Capoterra’s coastal area. Santa Gilla, a Ramsar wetland, contains broad saltwater lagoons and provides habitat for waterbirds. Cagliari’s historic Castello quarter and port place the locality within Sardinia’s principal southern urban area, while the coast remains closely linked to the lagoon.
