It is a territory wich extends to 1854 km sq (6,2% of the sardinian territori) accounting for 23 communes, with almost 60.000 habitants (3,6% of the sardinian population ) it is the least populated province of Sardinia.

Its presence is like an anfitheatre by the sea, and this derives from the fact that it is surrounded by a series of complex mountains which slope into the sea bed around the eastern coast. This particular geographic factor has attributed the appellation of “island within island”.
