Sant'Antioco, Ancient coastal municipality on Sant'Antioco Island, Sardinia, Italy
Located in southwestern Sardinia, Sant'Antioco extends across 109 square kilometers, connected to the mainland through a modern bridge and artificial isthmus.
Founded as Sulky by Phoenicians in 770 BC, the settlement developed into a Carthaginian colony before transforming into a Roman city named Sulci.
The Basilica of Sant'Antioco houses important religious relics and features underground catacombs dating from the second to seventh centuries.
The municipality contains multiple beaches, including Cala Sapone and Cala Lunga, with water activities available from May through September.
The annual tuna fishing tradition called mattanza takes place between May 15 and June 15, following ancient Mediterranean methods.
