Olbia

The northeastern city of Olbia extends along the Mediterranean coast, connecting mainland Italy to Sardinia through its major harbor and airport.

The settlement originated as a Phoenician port, later becoming a Roman military base and the capital of the medieval Giudicato of Gallura.

The Romanesque San Simplicio Cathedral, dating from the 11th century, stands as the oldest religious structure in northern Sardinia.

Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport serves multiple European destinations, while ferries connect the port to Italian mainland cities throughout the year.

The archaeological museum displays a collection of Roman ships discovered in the ancient harbor, preserved through modern conservation techniques.
