My fact file on Santa Maria:

 

Name - Santa Maria Navarrese

Region - Sardinia

Country – Italy

Population – 1,450

 

Santa Maria was founded in 1950 by the Baunese settlers, the town had an old

medieval church which dates back to AD 1000!! The church was built on the behalf

of Princess Navarra. The place is well known for its 17th century watch tower which

was built on a beach!! The land all around the port and village is really mountainous!!

The port is 150 km north of Cagliari, and 160 km south of Olbia. The town is very pretty,

it has lots of shops for tourists but it is not over built like Spain.
