The center is located along the coast in a particularly charming and picturesque landscape, with houses of miners willing to rule the beach of Porto Flavia , suggestive of the red rocks (Cambrian shales) that encircle and its characteristic white limestone rock, known as Sugar Loaf , which it faces. Extraordinary work of mining engineering, Porto Flavia.

Porto Flavia, took the name from the eldest daughter of its designer, was built in 1924 by digging the mountain for about 600 meters behind two superimposed galleries received a conveyor ore from underground storage for transfer, with its ingenious movable arm directly into the hold of ships load the bases. This ingenious solution was then able to revolutionize the system of loading of minerals, as at that date engaged with the load carried by coffee on the shoulders of "galanz" Carloforte on their yachts of 20-30 tons., Is now shown visitors because along with the charm of a wonderful place can also see an example of ingenuity and technically feasible. (NB: The visits are carried out only on request)



The Sugarloaf is a cliff that rises from the sea not far from the coast, is composed of Cambrian limestone and is caused by the action of sea erosion which led to the isolation from the mainland. It is called this way because of its similarity with Pão de Açúcar is a hill located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on a peninsula that extends from one end of the Guanabara Bay in the Atlantic Ocean, with its height 396 m above sea level. With its 132 m high cliff is one of the largest and most beautiful in Europe, crossed by a tunnel to the sea level that was formerly used for mining purposes is now one of the most sought after by climbers in search of excitement. A little further south there are reefs of limestone S'Angusteri and The Dead, which linked to the sugar loaf are part of a natural monument.

another mining monument not to be missed, this one a few meters from the sea, is the Laveria Lamarmora surrounded by Mediterranean bush. The washery with its open arches was restored by the Superintendency for the Monuments of Cagliari and connected to the sea by a staircase of 500 steps.
