Surrounded by a wild and uncontaminated landscape, where the mountains meet the sea, among the largest holm oak forest in Europe with century-old cork trees and sandy beaches with emerald blue water, Teulada is one of the most evocative towns on the southern coast.
The name of the first town to arise from the sea originates from the Latin word “Tegula”.
Most probably founded by the Phoenicians, its name referred to the great production of clay bricks and terracotta of the time. Following the continuous attacks by the Saracens, over time the coastal village slightly moved inland, becoming the town we now know.

With just over 3.000 inhabitants, Teulada is nestled between the magnificent mountains that surround the area. You can see the green of the woods joining the limestone colour of the mountains and the blue of the sky from literally every spot. Its seventeenth-century town centre stands for its typical ancient courtyard houses among which emerges the Baronial House of Sanjust. The old town is made up of narrow streets where enchanting views and small squares meet.
Its territory is filled with churches, both in the town centre and the countryside.
Archaeologically Cool summer evenings are livened up by a series of events that take place in the main square and the Casa Baronale

Longevity makes Teulada stand out amongst the entire country, recording a high number of over-90s and centenarians. Their presence is the subject matter of scientific study between the Municipality, the University and the Regional Observatory of the blue areas of Sardinia.
