Tips

The artistic paving mosaic of basalt and light limestone forms a geometric pattern of interlocking hexagons in the village square of Sant'Antioco. This settlement on the island of the same name bears the name of the martyr Antiochus of Sulci, who died here in the 2nd century under Roman rule. The island is home to one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in Sardinia, beginning with the Phoenician foundation of Sulci in the 8th century BC. After Punic and Roman settlement, Sant'Antioco was repeatedly invaded by Saracens in the Middle Ages, forcing the population to temporarily flee into the island's interior. The geometric patterns in the street paving connect this complex history with Mediterranean craft traditions.
