The archaeological area of Tharros is one of the most significant testimonies of the ancient history of Sardinia. Among the necropolises and Nuragic, Phoenician and Punic remains, the tower of San Giovanni also stands out, a Sardinian coastal tower built between the 16th and 17th centuries to protect against the incursions of Barbary pirates and corsairs.
