Hiking

The Fortezza Vecchia of Villasimius is a small 14th century fortress built to protect Sardinia from pirate attacks. It took on its current appearance through modifications and additions which ended in the 16th century. The fortress can be easily reached on foot from the center of Villasimius and the sea views make the short walk pleasant.
