Capo Falcone

The northwestern tip of Sardinia features black schist formations that extend into the Mediterranean Sea, with two distinct coastal landscapes on each side.

A defensive tower built in 1557 stands atop the promontory at 200 meters above sea level, marking the site's role in protecting against Saracen invasions.

The natural stone from this area, known as Stintino stone, forms the foundation of traditional buildings throughout the neighboring fishing village.

Visitors can reach the summit through designated trekking paths that lead to observation points overlooking both the outer deep blue sea and inner turquoise waters.

The promontory serves as a nesting ground for peregrine falcons and houses populations of the rare Eleonora's falcon among its rocky cliffs.
