 The port of Santa Teresa Gallura |
It was 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.
