Gli Ulivi

It is a small and renowned center of Sulcis, in south-western Sardinia: it has the particularity of a nuraghe in the city center and one of the most beautiful coastal stretches on the island. It has become famous and sought after tourist destination thanks to Porto Pino, the 'pearl' of the Mediterranean with dazzling beauty and an ecosystem in harmony between placid lagoons, luxuriant greenery, fine white sand dunes and clear turquoise sea. Sant'Anna Arresi is a pretty town of almost three thousand inhabitants of the lower Sulcis region, with a thousand naturalistic, cultural and food and wine attractions. Autonomous municipality since 1965, it extends on a hill overlooking a plain rich in coastal ponds (of Porto Pino, Maestrale, del Corvo, is Brebeis and Foxi), which host knights of Italy and flamingos. The lagoon area is delimited by the promontory of Porto Pino, covered by a vast pine forest of very rare Aleppo pines, thorny oaks and junipers, and Mediterranean scrub. Along the Arresina coast, among pink sandy coves, long 'desert' beaches and cliffs with breathtaking backdrops, the Caribbean paradise of Porto Pino stands out, a sandy stretch of four kilometers divided into 'first' and 'second' beach, which borders on is Arenas Biancas, the imposing and white dunes of the Teulada territory. In Porto Pinetto, you will find another 'jewel': Cala dei Francesi, a crescent of white sand with coral fragments, which plunges into the sea with emerald green and blue reflections. The name of the village combines the patron saint with the Arresi nuraghe, around which in the 18th century the original nucleus of rural houses was born, which gradually gave life to the current town. The 'tancato' nuraghe, that is, with two towers (the main one seven meters high and 13 meters in diameter) joined by walls that enclose a courtyard, dates back to the Middle Bronze Age (XV-XIV century BC). It stands in the central square, halfway between the 'old' church of Sant'Anna and the new parish church dedicated to the saint, celebrated in late July with a procession in traditional clothes. In 1986, in the Nuraghe square, a famous musical summer event has taken place since 1986: On the borders between Sardinia and jazz, animated by great artists of the world jazz scene. The Nuragic age in Sant'Anna is also documented by a source (which can be visited) inside the town and by various other nuraghes and tombs of Giants in the countryside, including the Coi Casu, inhabited between ancient and final Bronze Age (XVII- XI century BC), consisting of complex nuraghe and large village around, of which you will admire the remains. The territory assumed great importance later: the inlet of Porto Pino was a seaport in the Phoenician-Punic era and a trading center under Roman domination.
