Calamosca Beach
There will be a stop in front of Calamosca Beach that rises in a splendid bay surmounted and sheltered, almost protected, by two imposing promontories: Capo sant'Elia to the east and the Devil's saddle. The beach of Calamosca, just four kilometers from the center of Cagliari, lies close to the long, wide sandy shoreline of Poetto. It has a limpid sea in shades between emerald green and azure, a sandy shore with smooth pebbles, and a gently sloping seabed, suitable for children and particularly popular with spearfishing and diving enthusiasts.
Sella del Diavolo
Its unmistakable profile is one of Cagliari's most characteristic features, which remains imprinted by its particular shape and dominant position on the Poetto beach. The Devil's Saddle, occupies the exact centre of the Gulf of the Angels and is the offshoot of the Colle di Sant'Elia (St. Elias Hill) that reaches down to the sea. The name comes from a legend according to which devils, fascinated by the place, attempted to take possession of it. According to another version, however, it was the angels who asked God for a gift of this enchanting place, chosen for its purity and absence of evil, arousing Lucifer's jealousy. The battle took place in the skies above the coast of Cagliari and saw the triumph of the army of angels led by the archangel Michael. During the clash, Lucifer lost his saddle, which fell and solidified, forming the promontory known as the Devil's Saddle. Hence the name of the promontory, while the gulf below was called the Gulf of Angels in honor of its saviors.
