Santa Teresa Gallura
Historically known as 'Longosardo' or 'Longo Sardo', in Roman times Santa Teresa was a already a port of some notable importance on commercial trade routes for shipping the local granite to Rome. Given its position in the north of Sardinia, with the headlands of Capo Testa westwards and Punta Falcone eastwards, it was a crossroads for peoples and civilizations. Santa Teresa was built on the 12th of August 1808. This date is celebrated every year with evocative historical and folkloric performances.
