From this panoramic point you have a beautiful view of Poetto beach and the entire bay.

Large parking lot at the foot of the Teufelssattel. A public path goes through the otherwise cordoned off military area.

The breathtaking bay view from the top of "Sella del Diavolo" in Poetto, is a must-see for anyone visiting Sardinia's capital city. 🌊

Perched atop this iconic promontory, visitors are treated to panoramic vistas of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, the sweeping curve of Poetto Beach, and the charming cityscape of Cagliari. The contrast between the azure waters and the rugged coastline creates a scene of unparalleled beauty that is sure to leave a lasting impression. 🏖️

One fascinating real fact is that the name "Sella del Diavolo" translates to "Devil's Saddle" in English. Legend has it that the promontory's distinctive shape resembles a saddle, and according to local folklore, it was formed by the devil himself as he rode through the area on his horse. Whether or not you believe the legend, there's no denying the mystical allure of this natural wonder. 🔱🌄
