Carloforte, still closely linked to Pegli and Genoa, is the island's only center, with 6,000 inhabitants. It enchants with its many narrow streets rising up a gentle slope, its colorful corners and sea views, its small harbor, and its former defenses, of which watchtowers and sections of walls with forts can still be seen, including La Porta del Leone. Among the architectural highlights of this town, which is included in the Club of the Most Beautiful Towns in Italy, are U Palassiu, dating from the early 20th century and now the Giuseppe Cavallera Cinema, and the Church of the Madonna del Naufrago, which houses the wooden statue venerated by the Tabarkin people, a symbol of the faith and solidarity of the community.

The Carloforte salt pans, just outside the town, are a natural area of great interest, now classified as a Site of Community Importance (SCI). Their origins date back to the Phoenician-Punic era, but actual industrial activity began in 1770 by decision of the Kingdom of Sardinia and continued until 1998. Today, among the lakes and ancient basins, it is possible to observe greater flamingos, black-winged stilts, and numerous other aquatic species.

The language of the Tabarchians essentially corresponds to the Ligurian language of the 15th century. Through personal and trade connections - both from Tunisia and from the island of San Pietro - it has developed just as much as the actual Ligurian and Genoese languages. Due to its geographical location, the port of Carloforte was of considerable importance in shipping and as a transshipment point for medium tonnage until the beginning of the 19th century. Carlofortine Ligurian preserves some nouns and rare grammatical forms that only occur in the outdated Genoese. It does not contain any Gallicisms that Genoese has adopted in recent centuries; for example, the accent (còccina) is typical of Pegli and not of pure Genoese. Only a few nouns from Sardinian, Arabic and Tuscan can be identified as external influences. More than 80 percent of the population still speak this dialect in everyday life today. The architecture, culture, customs and traditions of Carloforte still correspond to those of Liguria. Due to its historical, economic and cultural ties with the Ligurian capital, especially with Pegli, Carloforte was recognized as an honorary municipality of the province of Genoa on November 10, 2004. In 2006, the neighboring municipality of Calasetta received the same honor. Carloforte celebrates twin festivities with Pegli every year.

In 1542, the inhabitants of Pegli and the neighbouring communities left their home on the Ligurian coast in the wake of the Lomellini, a powerful trading family from Pegli and Genoa, and settled on the island of Tabarca off the coast of Tunisia, where they dived for coral until 1735. When coral mining and thus the tribute to the Lomellini continued to decline and was no longer profitable for all sides, and the conflicts with the Muslims intensified, King Charles Emmanuel III of Savoy, on the initiative of the Piedmontese architect Augusto de la Vallée, made the offer to settle the still uninhabited island of San Pietro. A part of the Tabarchini under the leadership of Agostino Tagliafico accepted the offer and settled on the island off Sardinia in 1738. In honour of the king, they named the new place Carloforte ("Charles the Strong"). Over time, other emigrant families arrived directly from Liguria and helped to strengthen the small, thriving community. In 1798, Carloforte was attacked by pirates and around 900 inhabitants were captured and held as slaves in Tunis; one of them became the mother of Bey Ahmad I al-Husain. After five years, they were finally ransomed. The parts of the old city walls and the fortress that still remain today are evidence of this barbarian invasion. The population, also known as the Tabarchines because of their origins, united the towns of Carloforte on the island of San Pietro and the neighboring community of Calasetta on the nearby island of Sant'Antioco. A smaller part of the emigrants from Tabarca headed towards the Spanish coast to Alicante and founded the town of Nueva Tabarca there. Although this colony retained some of the original surnames, it was absorbed by the Spanish-speaking community in terms of language and customs. The Tabarchini are scattered all over the world, mainly in Genoa, on the Ligurian coast, in Gibraltar, in Boca near Buenos Aires and in other port cities. They are estimated to number 18,000 people in total.

Carloforte is a wonderfully pleasant little town where you can stroll through its streets in a relaxed manner.

Carloforte is located on the island of San Pietro and constitutes, together with the nearby island of Sant'Antioco, the Sulcis archipelago. It belongs to the circuit of the "most beautiful villages in Italy". It preserves the language and culture of its founders, the fishing families originally from Pegli and coming from the Tunisian island of Tabarka, where they had resided since the 16th century. In 1738, the Tabarchini obtained permission from King Carlo Emanuele III to colonize the island of San Pietro, uninhabited and known as "of the sparrowhawks" since the time of the Phoenician settlement (8th century BC), followed by the Punic one with a temple and necropolis. About 40 years later, the same fishermen founded Calasetta on the adjacent island of Sant'Antioco.
