The archipelago should be remembered not only for its beauty but also for its history told by pages featuring Napoleon, Nelson, Garibaldi as witnesses to the strategic military value of this area.

In 1777 it was an important support for the ships of the Sardinian Royal Palace. Over the years there has been an increasingly significant military positioning. Just look at the many fortifications present and built in particular between the first and second world wars, such as on the island of Spargi, on the island of Caprera and on the island of La Maddalena.

Porto Rafael overlooks this wonderful panorama, located just a stone’s throw away.

A testimony of great historical importance is, then, the ship sunk in the waters of Spargi between 120 and 110 BC.
