Cape Caccia is an impressive calcareous rock in the north-west of Sardinia, where at the moment 14 caves were found, half of which are under water.
The cape is in the Gulf of Alghero and, together with the Punta Giglio cape, encircles the large bay of Porto Conte. On top of the cape there is a meteorological station and a lighthouse, which due to its high position (186 meters above sea level) is considered to be one of the most notable in Italy (visible from a distance of about 34 miles).
Its name, which in translation from Italian means “Hunting Cape”, the rock got from hunting pigeons, popular in the 19th century among noble persons, that were usually hunting in periods of calm, being right in the boat. From the top of the cape you can see the gulf of Alghero and the nearest island of Foradada. This is one of the most beautiful and charming panoramas of the island.
