Εύκολες πεζοπορίες και περίπατοι στη Σαρδηνία

Before this small, sacred monument with the (diabolical) name "Croce della Sella del Diavolo" (Cross of the Devil's Seat), I would like to offer the viewer lingering here a brief prayer, written by the Polish-born Holy Father Jan Paul II in preparation for the great Jubilee of the Holy Year 2000: "Jesus, only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth, light that illuminates every person, grant to all who seek you with a pure heart the fullness of life. To you, Redeemer of mankind, beginning and end of time and of the universe, to the Father, the inexhaustible source of all goodness, and to the Holy Spirit, the seal of infinite love, be honor and glory for all eternity. Amen." (Pope John Paul II / Karol Wojtyla)

Cagliari's landmark is the imposing Cathedral of Santa Maria. It was built in the 13th century but has undergone numerous structural alterations over the years. It incorporates Romantic and Baroque styles, as well as the Pisan style. The current façade recalls the cathedral's original Romantic appearance, but the Baroque style still dominates the interior. A tour of the church reveals magnificent, detailed paintings on the ceiling, imposing sculptures, and a marble pulpit that once stood in Pisa Cathedral. In the crypt, you can marvel at around 300 burial chambers.

Wear sturdy shoes. Be sure-footed. Bring something to drink. Stunning scenery. The ground is firm and therefore easy to walk on.

A beautiful view from the Devil's Saddle. Sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and plenty of water are highly recommended for the hike up the mountain (130 meters elevation gain).

Beautiful views of the bay in front of Cagliari. Sturdy shoes, plenty of water, and sunscreen are highly recommended for the hike up the mountain.

Really beautiful beach.
