Originally a Nuraghic settlement from c. 4000BC, the area of Santa Teresa Gallura in Sardinia was subsequently settled by the Romans, who quarried the local granite for buildings such as the famous Pantheon in Rome. Round the town, there are still some huge, partly-worked granite blocks to be seen. The area was later fortified by the Pisans to keep a lookout on their bitter rivals, the Genoans, who held the town of Bonifacio across the straits. The modern town of Santa Teresa Gallura dates from the 19th century, when the layout and street plan were personally supervised by King Vittorio Emanuele I. The town lies at the head of a narrow, rocky inlet, the upper part of which is protected by a breakwater protecting the pontoons of the Porto Turistico marina.

Local Weather
Strong winds often affect the Strait of Bonifacio, particularly from the NW, and funnel past the north coast of the island. The shelter in the inlet is, however, excellent.
See Italy.
Approach
Beware of the two 3.5 metre shoal patches in the approach (marked) and the 1.5 metre shoal patch to the east of the end of the wavebreaker pontoon. Ferries use the port so a careful approach is needed. At busy times, it may be wise to call the harbour authorities on VHF channel 12 to request entry.
