SUMMER SOLSTICE ON THE SEAT OF THE DEVIL – JUNE 23

At the Summer Solstice will be told the story of the ancient Nuragici, the Punic Phoenician sailors and merchants, also passing through the history of the pirates of the turrets and local sighting: mute sentinels of the sea of Cagliari, prepared the Bay of Angels.
“This walk – tell the organizers – will wind through the ancient paths, in the starlight, before the city of Cagliari offers, from Cape S Elia, unique views, lovely.”

The summer solstice, in astronomy, is defined as the moment when the Sun reaches its apparent motion along the ecliptic, the maximum value of declination positive event well known to the ancient Nuragici, but especially to the ancient Phoenicians and Carthaginians navigators who reached Cagliari.

The evening event will turn in pre-night walk that looks interesting because, on the way to over 130 meters high, will highlight the footsteps of the Phoenicians and Carthaginians who chose the system of St. Elias hill, with views on ‘enchanting Gulf of the Angels, in order to realize a temple dedicated to sacred prostitution as well as the tanks of sacred water.

Even the Romans chose the hill of S. Elijah. They called originally Monte Falcone, the presence of hawks.

With their outpost controlled the nearby salt pond that became known in later centuries, Molentargius because of the mules used to transport the tanks of salt.

Participants will relay the nature trail to the summit of the hill, illustrating a route length of about 2 km, the many wild plants, ie plants and herbs rich in history and magic, and the official history of the local coastal towers, such as the tower of Parsley and that of the signals, the old lighthouse, and then the towers and the ruins of Poueth adjacent military forts.

Space is also the story of the Underground Cagliari with the description of Marcello Polastri, two large underground cavity.

And so the tales in the candlelight, reading poignant verses and recalling the story from the heart of the legends of demons and angels that fought on the promontory of Sella del Diavolo. The walk will end at 21.
