    Hiking

    The Sulis tower takes its name from the Cagliari revolutionary Vincenzo Sulis, who spent 22 years in isolation inside the tower.

    Also known as the Sperone tower (de l'Espero Reyal), it was built in the first half of the 16th century.

    This landmark tower was originally known as the Torre de l'Esperó Reial or Torre dello Sperone (Tower of the Royal Spur). Its current name is a reference to Vincenzo Sulis, a 19th-century Sardinian revolutionary who spent 22 years imprisoned within its 6m-thick walls.
