The Devil's Saddle: history, myths, and legends

A promontory symbolizing Cagliari, suspended between reality and fantasy

The Devil's Saddle is much more than a spectacular promontory overlooking the Gulf of Angels: it is a place steeped in mystery, charm, and tradition, which for centuries has fueled the collective imagination of the people of Cagliari and travelers alike.

The legend of the Devil's Saddle

According to the most popular legend, God chose the Gulf of Cagliari as a home for angels. Satan, envious of its beauty, tried to take it over. A battle ensued between angels and demons: during the clash, Lucifer was thrown from his horse and fell into the sea. According to the myth, his saddle landed on the promontory and remained there, petrified, giving rise to its unmistakable shape.

Hence the name "Sella del Diavolo"(Devil's Saddle), which can still be seen today on the profile of the hill.

• Remains of a Punic-Roman temple

It is a place that combines nature, history, and spirituality, frequented since ancient times for its strategic location and spectacular view of the sea.
