Carloforte

Highlight • Settlement

Carloforte, still closely linked to Pegli and Genoa, is the island's only center, with 6,000 inhabitants. It enchants with its many narrow streets rising up a gentle slope, its colorful corners and sea views, its small harbor, and its former defenses, of which watchtowers and sections of walls with forts can still be seen, including La Porta del Leone. Among the architectural highlights of this town, which is included in the Club of the Most Beautiful Towns in Italy, are U Palassiu, dating from the early 20th century and now the Giuseppe Cavallera Cinema, and the Church of the Madonna del Naufrago, which houses the wooden statue venerated by the Tabarkin people, a symbol of the faith and solidarity of the community.

Carloforte Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Carloforte is located on the island of San Pietro, 10 km from the south-western coast of Sardinia and forms, together with the nearby island of Sant'Antioco, the Sulcis archipelago. It is part of the circuit of "The most beautiful villages in Italy".

San Vittorio Tower

Highlight • Monument

The tower of San Vittorio, built in 1768, played a vital defensive role, watching over the southern coast of the island of San Pietro to protect it from potential enemy invasions. Due to changed circumstances, the tower was later converted into an astronomical latitude station. This transformation occurred at the request of the International Geodetic Commission, which needed an astronomical station located on the geographical parallel 39° 08' latitude in Carloforte for educational-scientific purposes.
