City. Sulci or Sulki, was one of the most considerable cities of ancient Sardinia, situated in the southwest corner of the island, on a small island, now called Isola di Sant'Antioco, which is, however, joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus or neck of sand. South of this isthmus, between the island and the mainland, is an extensive bay, now called the Golfo di Palmas, which was known in ancient times as the Sulcitanus Portus.[1]

The catacombs of Sant'Antioco are an archaeological site located in the Sardinian municipality of Sant'Antioco. The necropolis is one of the oldest evidence of Christianity in Sardinia. The site was carved out by connecting Punic burial chambers from the 5th century BC so that the first members of the newly formed Christian community could be buried as close as possible to the tomb of Sant'Antioco.
