From here you have a great view of Cala Domestica and Cala Lunga (Cala Grande). One can very well imagine why the bays served as hiding places from pirates back then.

The Torre di Cala Domestica is a remarkable historical landmark that captivates visitors with its stunning visual appeal and rich heritage. Built in 1765, this cylindrical limestone and granite tower is approximately 12 metres in diameter and approximately 11 metres high, offering a unique glimpse into 18th century architectural mastery. The entrance consists of a striking stone architrave supported by two sturdy stones, leading into a vaulted chamber 7 metres in diameter. This impressive structure is not only a testament to Sardinia's coastal fortifications, but also offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Strategically located on the coast, the tower played a crucial role in naval defence, particularly during World War II, where it served as a lookout point for the Royal Navy. Visitors can admire the well-preserved features, including the external metal rung staircase that connects the ground floor entrance to the upper floors, and explore the remains of the surrounding area, which include ruins of warehouses and tunnels dug by miners. The nearby Cala Domestica beach, characterized by its pristine white and amber sand, further enhances the appeal of this destination, making it an ideal place to relax and explore. Surrounded by turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, Torre di Cala Domestica offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its enchanting ambience.
