Porto Flavia
Discover the astonishing engineering feat of Porto Flavia, a suspended port carved directly into the sheer rock face of the Masua coastline in Sardinia. Designed in the 1920s, this revolutionary mining outlet allowed minerals to be loaded directly onto ships via dramatic internal tunnels high above the water. A visit here is an immersive journey into industrial history, offering unparalleled, dizzying views of the sea and the iconic Pan di Zucchero stack. It is a remarkable testament to human ingenuity against the forces of nature.
