Sulki

Sulki, today Sant'Antioco, was once a wealthy Phoenician-Punic metropolis on a Sardinian island, and ranks among the most important ancient cities of Sardinia.

On the island of Sant'Antioco in southwest Sardinia lies the ancient city of Sulki. Originally a Phoenician foundation, it quickly developed into a wealthy metropolis, controlling large parts of the southwestern coast and boasting two ports and an extensive trading network.

Sulki was an important commercial hub where Phoenician and later Punic cultures met the local Nuragic population. The historical sites tell the story of this fascinating era, offering insights into the life, beliefs, and impressive architecture of these civilizations.
