Capo Teulada forms the southernmost geographic point of Sardinia, characterized by towering rock cliffs reaching into the Mediterranean. From this point, the distance separating Sardinia from the coast of Tunisia in North Africa is just over 180 kilometers. According to historical accounts and local lore, on clear winter days free of haze, it is possible to glimpse the outline of the African coastline across the sea. While an uncommon optical occurrence, this close proximity explains the deep history of trade, cultural exchange, and human migration connecting Sardinia with North Africa since antiquity.
