The town is ancient and was established by the Phoenicians before thriving under the Romans. Visually, the town still largely reflects the rule of the Tuscan Malaspina family in the 12th century, with their castle overlooking the whole town and the pretty Medieval Quarter of the town spreading out from its base.

Calamosca Beach is the perfect place to spend the day if you have found a vacation rental in the charming city of Cagliari. Utterly picture-perfect, this beach is a short walk from the centre of the capital city of Sardinia and is one of the most lovely on an island famous for its incredible beaches! If you like hanging out on a peaceful, sheltered stretch of coast, playing around in the most unbelievably blue waters, a vibrant nightlife, excellent facilities and taking in amazing scenery, it is ideal.

Positioned and sheltered between two promontories – Capo Sant'Elia and its ancient lighthouse to the east and the Sella del Diavolo (Devil's Saddle) to the west – on the coastline of Poetto, the beach is just 4km from the centre of Cagliari.

If you find a vacation rental in the charming city of Cagliari, the pretty and colourful capital seaside city in southern Sardinia, one of the must-see attractions is the Torre dell'Elefante (or Tower of the Elephant). This rather impressive medieval tower is located in the lovely Castello historical quarter of the city and was built in 1307.

Built during the period of the Pisan occupation of the city, by the acclaimed Sardinian architect Giovanni Capula, it was constructed as part of the city's fortifications in order to protect against the imminent invasion by the Aragonese.

Measuring 31m in height, it is constructed on three sides from white limestone that was sourced in Colle di Bonaria nearby and was left open on the third.
