Poetto - Forte di Sant'Elia (Fortino di Sant'Ignazio) (on street Calamosca)

Access to starting point:
Famous beach Poetto is located 5 kilometers east from the center of the capital city of Sardinia, Cagliari and it is the easiest accessible by public transport.

Path description:
From Poetto after 5 minutes we turn left on street Via Vergine di Lluc and at smaller square Piazza San Bartolomeo we turn on street Calamosca. We follow the road straight to its highest part, where we turn towards the lighthouse, which we see in the distance. About hundred meters before the lighthouse on the right we notice numerous paths and cycling jumps (if we continue to the lighthouse, it extends our path for a little less than 10 minutes). We can go on any of these branches and we start ascending on a footpath to the saddle between the lighthouse and fortress. From the saddle, we continue on a gentle path towards the fortress, which we reach after 5 or 10 minutes of walking (because meanwhile we are overcome by a view on the sea and on six kilometers beach, from where we came). Into the fortress or its remains, we can freely enter and through the opening in the wall nice views are opening up on all sides below us.
