We'll meet at the parking lot of the "Ferruccio Barreca" Archeological Museum at the designated time to start this tour of Sant'Antioco and Calasetta.

Our tour will begin with Sant'Antioco, where we'll see the archeological site of the museum from the outside, including the Roman Acropolis, an ancient temple, and a hypogeum that houses ancient Punic tombs.

Next, we'll head to the city center to view the exterior of the Forte Sabaudo Su Pisu, a 19th-century fortress, and the Church of Saint Antiochus Martyr, which has Paleochristian origins. The only Christian catacombs in Sardinia are located here, and we will provide details as you admire the church's facade.
