QUARTU SANT'ELENA

Quartu Sant'Elena is an attractive town situated in the south of Sardinia, in the province of Cagliari, and distant from the chief town only 6 Kms.  Its proximity with Cagliari and its position in front of the splendid sea of the Gulf of the Angels, have contributed to a rapid expansion of Quartu Sant'Elena which, for number of inhabitants has become the third town of Sardinia. 

From the tourist and naturalistic point of view, besides the Poetto beach, shared with the chief town, the seashore of Quartu Sant'Elena is particularly appreciated for its beauty and variety as alternate areas of white beach to zones of rocky coast.  

In any case, Quartu Sant'Elena doesn't mean only sea and beaches: the most careful visitor won't miss to visit also what the city offers from the historical point of view: the Church of Sant’Elena (it dates back to 1788 and was built on the site of a previous Catalan church from the XVI century), Sa Domu 'e Farra ("the house of the flour" : an ancient typical residence nowadays transformed in house-museum), the Church of San Pietro in Ponte (it was built by Byzantines and later restored at the beginning of XII century), the Church of S. Maria di Cepola (inside the church have been discovered some medieval frescoes as well as others from the eighteenth century). 

From a folkloristic point of view, do not miss to attend some colorful events like La Sciampitta (an international folk show, which is held in July), or La Festa di Sant'Elena, patron of Quartu Sant'Elena: this event is held in the middle of September, with religious ceremonies, shows and performances, the procession of groups dressed with the traditional costumes and with a series of civil celebrations such as the Festival of the grapes, of bread, sweets and wine.

For the shopping and the fun, in addition to the numerous shops that can be found in the central via E. Porcu or disseminated around the town, at the entry of Quartu Sant'Elena, arriving from the avenue "viale Marconi", there are the shopping centers Millennium and Le Vele , which include the supermarket Carrefour, the multi cinema Warner Village, the Bowling, McDonald's and several shops, restaurants, pizzeria's, etc.  Otherwise, at only a very few minutes from our apartments, and therefore  also very convenient for your purchases of every day, you will find the well- Hypermarket Leclerc-Conad.

Every Wednesday morning, in the street via San Benedetto (that for the occasion is partially closed to cars-traffic) there is an open market, where it is possible to buy any kind of goods and articles: alimentary products, attire, pets and domestic animals, articles for the house etc..
