Sardinia

Recorded August 25, 2008.

Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily). The area of Sardinia is 9301 square miles. The island is surrounded by the French island of Corsica, the Italian Peninsula, Tunisia and the Balearic Islands. Sardinia is a constitutional part of Italy, with a special statute of regional autonomy under the Italian Constitution.

In this video first we traveled to the north side of the island where there were dramatic views of the Gulf of Porto Conte at Cape Caccia area. Next w visited Nuraghe di Palmavera. At the core of the site is the remains of a palace which is surrounded by a tight cluster of around fifty circular huts. The palace was founded around the fourteenth century BC which is during the Middle Copper Period and consists of a central tower with an additional elliptical bastion and second tower that were both added at a later date. The video concludes with a nice view of the cliffs along the coast as we sail away from the Italian island of Sardinia.
