Description of mountain:
Sella del Diavolo (in translation: Devil's saddle) is hill southeast from town Cagliari (Sardinija) and a symbol of the town. Hill is ascending above 7 kilometer beach Poetto. The starting point we can reaches with public transport.
Name originates from legend, which story goes like this... One day devil got so attracted by beauty of bay Cagliari, that he seized it. God didn't allow this and he sent his angels to fight under command of archangel Michael. In battle, which took place on the sky above the bay, is by one version of legend Michael knocked Lucifer down of his horse, in doing so a saddle fallen into a bay and with that made characteristic hill. By the second version of legend devil supposed to fall on cliffs and with that gave a hill its characteristic form. And sea below the hill is since then called Angel bay.
