Cannatello: Bronze Age, trade route and fortifications

The settlement of Cannatello offers a particularly significant cultural and historical perspective. It included square and round huts within a paved area. The archaeological site of Cannatello is a Middle Bronze Age settlement with extensive finds of Mycenaean pottery. In front of Cannatello, there is also an underwater archaeological site containing at least five stone anchors and two lead ingots.

The settlement of Cannatello is regarded as an emporium on a Mycenaean trade route that connected Cyprus with western Sardinia in the 13th century BC. In addition, three fortifications in Cannatello have been preserved almost completely. This creates a rich historical area of interest that clearly differs from a purely beach-focused stay, without losing sight of the coastal setting.
