Punta Giglio, Coastal promontory in northern Sardinia, Italy.
The limestone cliffs of Punta Giglio rise 80 meters above the Mediterranean Sea, creating a natural boundary between Porto Conte Bay and the Gulf of Alghero.
The Royal Navy constructed the SR 413 Coastal Battery between World Wars I and II to monitor maritime activities, housing 72 military personnel during its operation.
The M.A.P.S Environmental Museum at Punta Giglio presents exhibits about the local ecosystem and military heritage through informative panels along walking paths.
Visitors can access the promontory via Provincial Road 55 and explore the nature reserve's trails, which feature directional signs to military structures and observation points.
The limestone cliffs of Punta Giglio support one of the Mediterranean's largest peregrine falcon colonies and provide nesting sites for Scopoli's shearwaters.
