Santa Caterina di Pittinuri

Santa Caterina di Pittinuri is a small fishing village on the west coast of Sardinia, set in an area filled with picturesque villages, valleys and numerous sandy and shingle beaches. One of the main sights of the village is S’Achittu, a large natural bridge formed by marine erosion. A sand road, one of the side roads of the 292 in between Santa Caterina di Pittinuri and S’Archittu, leads to the ruins of the Nuragic city of Cornus, where the battle between the Romans, Nuragic people and Carthaginians headed by Amsicora took place (215 B.C.).
