Santu Antiogu

Sant’Antioco lies along the eastern shore of its namesake island, where the Sant’Antioco Lagoon meets a low, rocky Mediterranean coast in southwestern Sardinia. The town occupies the site of ancient Sulky, a Phoenician settlement that later became the Roman municipium of Sulci; its archaeological museum and excavated remains trace this long continuity. The Basilica of Sant’Antioco Martire stands above early Christian catacombs associated with the island’s patron saint. Salt pans, maquis scrub and small coves give the island a markedly different rhythm from Sardinia’s larger resort centres. Its road connection to the mainland also makes Sant’Antioco a useful base for exploring the Sulcis area and the Gulf of Palmas.
