Perched on the rocky promontory of Capo Sant'Elia, this lighthouse has guided sailors since the 19th century. While the lighthouse itself is not open to the public, the surrounding area provides breathtaking vistas of the Gulf of Cagliari and the coastline. Visitors can hike along the cliffs, explore the nearby Sella del Diavolo (Devil's Saddle) rock formation, and enjoy the wild, windswept landscape. It's a favorite spot for sunset photography and quiet contemplation.
