The second largest island in the Mediterranean, Sardinia has always had a strategic position and has been historically connected with Spain, especially along the western coasts.
the region is typical for its rugged territory, comprising the mountains called Limbara, Supramonte, Ogliastra, Gennargentu, Iglesiente and Sulcis, and characterized by a very different geological aspect from the rest of Italy; here also there are unique archeological remains dating back to thousands of years ago, called "nuraghi". The coastline is mostly high and rocky, and surrounded by many smaller islands, such as Asinara, the Maddalena group, Tavolara, San Pietro and Sant'Antioco.

Provinces of Sardinia

The region includes 8 provinces: Cagliari (CA), Carbonia Iglesias (CI), Medio Campidano (MD), Nuoro (NU), Ogliastra (OG), Olbia Tempio (OT), Oristano (OR), Sassari (SS)

History
Inhabited since very early pre-historic times (at least since 150,000 years ago), in the 9th century BC the island was occupied by the Phoenicians, later on by Carthage and, after this city was defeated and destroyed in the Third Punic War, by Rome, and under the Roman Empire enjoyed a remarkable prosperity. Raided by the Vandals in 456 AD, it was later included by the Eastern (Byzantine) Roman Empire. For many centuries Sardinia suffered raids by the Saracens from Spain, Africa and Sicily.
In the 12th century, under the influence of the republic of Pisa, the island was divided into four local districts - Gallura, Logudoro, Arborea, and Caralis - called "Iudicati", each ruled by a iudex, whose power little by little became hereditary. In 1241 the King of Sicily Frederick II appointed his son Enzo king of Sardinia.
In 1323 the Kingdom of Aragon began its conquest Sardinia; Arborea resisted and for a time was able to control almost the whole island, but its last ruler Eleanor of Arborea was defeated in the Battle of Sanluri on June 30, 1409, the population of Alghero was expelled and the city repopulated with Catalans. After the merge of the Kingdoms of Castile and Aragon in Spain, Sardinia was incorporated into Spain and Sardinian mariners were in the royal Spanish fleet when on October 7, 1571, at the Battle of Lepanto, the Turkish fleet was defeated. On 2 September 1720 Sardinia passed to Vittorio Amedeo II Savoy, later to become King of Sardinia, the entity that in the following century was to become the Kingdom of Italy.

Population
Four of the eight Sardinian provinces were established in 2005: Carbonia-Iglesias, Medio Campidano, Ogliastra and Olbia-Tempio while Oristano was established in 1974. The population is mostly concentrated in the provinces of Cagliari and Sassari. Until very recent times the population inhabited the inner areas away from the sea, and the economy was based on sheep-raising and connected activities.

Then a wonderful tourist development took place in the coastal areas, so that today Sardinia, with its clear waters, unspoiled landscape and ideal climate in the summer, is a favorite holiday destinations for Italians and foreigners, who reach by ferry or plane the celebrated localities along the Costa Smeralda, the Maddalena island, Alghero and Costa Rei. Still today, however, the region is the first in Italy for sheep and goat raising, and the production of cheeses. Another important resource is the extraction of lead and zinc.

NICE... I like the italian feel in the pics... is it an accurate recreation?? I mean, will it be based on... or.... recreation??

Great start very promising. :thumbsup:

From my early youth, I admired the sea. There was none of summer vacation without at least a few days spent at sea. I enjoyed sunbathing, swimming, relax on the beach and admire the sea smell. The camera was always in my vicinity and it seemed to me that I need to photograph each wave and each change in color of the sea.

This time we are planning an holiday in Sardinia in spring. All what we already knew about Sardinia has been the need to book a ferry somewhere in April and that there could be a beautiful beaches. We intend to visit Cagliari, explore the surrounding and find some good beaches.

At the Saturday morning after the morning coffee we went to Cagliari. The city is the largest in Sardinia and also the capital of the island. Before downtown of Cagliari we photographed flamingos that are pretty numerous in Sardinia, but we noticed them only here.

Cagliari is renown for its art museums and Art Galleries, the sea, the movida and cheap lodgings and a lot more to make a visit worth wise. It has about 160,000 inhabitants, or about 350,000 including the suburbs. Cagliari's Sardinian name Casteddu literally means the castle. Cagliari has some peculiar gastronomic traditions. Many dishes are based on the wide variety of fish and sea food available, for example, burrida.

Sardinia is a small but very varied Island; the scenery of its beaches is colorful almost everywhere you go. One of choises to enjoy on beaches and inland places is to create an itinerary for 7 to 14 days staying for 3 or 4 days at a time.

I hope you have sunblock or you'll burn the sun  :P

A great start.  Might I suggest that you use a wider range of flora?

Now, that's one giant piece of rock there.  :satisfied:

Superb update, I enjoyed it quite a lot. The beach is well done, as well as the construction on that hill.

Looking forward for more pictures of this superb place of the Mediterranean sea.

This is very promising, I look forward to following it in the future.

...Wow.  :o

You did an awesome job with EVERYTHING. But especially with your choice of flora and placement of beach props. Those really helped to fill out your city!

Another fantastic update.
I love how the beach turned out....great work!

Porto Cervo is the main centre of the so-called Costa Smeralda, one of the most prestigious tourist areas in Gallura on Sardinia's north-western coast. Resorts such as Cala di Volpe, Liscia di Vacca and Baja Sardinia are now considered very sought-after tourist destinations. Porto Cervo is a village of multicoloured buildings, recently built in front of the natural port and the surrounding hills.

The Porto Vecchio (Old Port) dates back to the 60's and is on the south-eastern side, while the new harbour is equipped with the most modern and complete tourist infrastructures for international marine traffic.
The wharves and quays are Porto Cervo Spa's private property and therefore fees must be paid for docking and enjoying the use of the facilities. The Port is visible from the sea and makes reference to Capo Ferro, a 46 m high promontory with a lighthouse indicating north of Porto Cervo.  From the sea you can also admire the lights of the numerous tourist resorts present in the area.
Anyone not wanting to use the port might anchor in the bay.  The entrance is indicated by the lights.
Obviously, Porto Cervo couldn't not have a Yacht Club (the Costa Smeralda Yacht Club) and a meeting point for nightlife

Awesome update!  Where can I find that church you are using?

Nice pictures and presentation.
The location of the town is interesting and the second picture very beautiful :thumbsup:

That's a pretty nice town you've made there. I like the square planning of it, it reminds me of La Spezia in Italy.

Throughout Sardinia and the Italian countryside, you see signs offering Agriturismo, which is basically a bed and breakfast stay at a working farm.  For our second night, we stayed at Su Boschettu, a typical agriturismo hotel about an hour's drive from Cagliari, located in the midst of an olive grove.  It also offered dinner, advertising that everything on the menu was organic and locally grown.  The first course, antipasti, included the typical Sardinian green olives (perhaps from their own orchard), which have a delicious, slightly sharp, nutty taste, and the classic crisp Sardinian flat bread, carasau, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt, and toasted.  (Throughout our stay in Sardinia, every meal began with olives and carasau.)


The bread and olives also came with a roasted eggplant dish, sauteed onions and cabbage, and a type of seafood ceviche.  This could have been enough, but was followed by ravioli filled with ricotta (the primi piatti) and salad with a plate of cold meats– sausage, duck and ribs–  (the secundi piatti).  Dessert was fruit, grapes and super-sweet melon, and a small cup of thick Italian coffee.  (I always asked for caffe decaffienato because, at full strength, I knew that the coffee would definitely keep me awake all night.)  We went to bed stuffed, leaving our window open to the fresh country air and perfect silence.

Su Boschettu Farm House is located in Pranu Iaccu, in the territory of Sa Corona Arrubia tourist consortium, 8km from the important archaeological site of Barumini and 5km from the nature park of Giara. This accommodation facility is an old renovated farmhouse in the middle of an age-old olive grove, a really enchanting setting for a pleasant stay in contact with nature but not far from the wonderful beaches of Arbus.

Oke, now.. Lets go to village, view of village roads, farms, old churches  :D

Nice work! I loved the town with that giant... church I believe.

WOW, there are some really great pics in that update.
I love them all, but 3.3, 3.8 and 4.1 really stand out for me.  I hope you'll enter some of your pics in the SC4 Picture Competition! (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=804.msg420884;topicseen#new) The first two look very realistic and that beach scene perfect.

Robin &apls

This is all so amazing. All the attention given to placement for lighting and shadows just makes these pictures feel absolutely real!

I don't think I've ever seen powerlines on road sidewalks before. Which mod is that from?

Great pictures, the atmosphere is very immersive  :thumbsup:

Amazing pictures... I love your work ! :)
I think you should try to enter the picture competition, some pictures here could do pretty well !

The city looks so alive! Fantastic! :o
where did you get those power poles on the sidewalks?

Wonderful pictures and presentation &apls

Oke, friend. now, lets start holiday. my plan for this weekend I'll go to The Valley of Pardu, Jerzu, Province Ogliastra. Actually, I dont know how to train transport to cagliari ---> Ogliastra (because i'm not people of sardinia  &mmm). So, I'll lets start with fiktif transport  :D..

if you use drive (main road)

Jerzu
Location: Central Ogliastra (13km from the sea)
How to get there:

From the south take the main road SS125 north to Tortoli until reaching Cardedu, turn west following signs to Jerzu and continue up and around the valley until arriving at the junction for the old Cagliari road, turn right here and continue to Jerzu.

From Nuoro take the main road SS389 towards Lanusei until turning right onto the SS198 following signs to Gairo, continue on the SS198 turning right upon entering Gairo then down the valley and across it. When you begin to ascend on the other side take the left turn onto the SP11 following the signs to Osini, Ulassai and Jerzu. Continue on this road until arriving in Jerzu. It is quite a tricky journey but there is some breathtaking scenery along the way.

aaah, whatever..  ()stsfd() this my situation, 

oh, train delay again, 2 hours  ()sad()

To be continued... the next Update  :P  "$Deal"$

Wow, another fantastic update.
To join the SC4 Picture Contest, you'll need to wait until a round has finished and than challenge the winning picture with one of your own.  To win, it's the first to get 8 votes.  I hope you'll give it a try.

Robin :thumbsup:

Very beautiful pictures.
I like the rail station and the farming scenes. :thumbsup:

fantastic update! &apls

which station is that?

Could you do a photo editing tutorial?  These pictures are just amazing.

Wow, these are nice pictures. I enjoyed looking at them.

- Jim

Great rail station and farms. &apls

The shots of the trains leaving the station are fantastic.

Waiting for the train at the station, fantastic! Excellent staging over there. Also, great rural pictures!

Just that very tight train overpass in picture 4.3 that tickles me a bit actually... Is it possible to make a perfect slope for that? Or there isn't enough room?

I loved the farm! It's all very good.
Thanks for the link.  :thumbsup:

Wow. The detail in this is immense :thumbsup: the power-lines really push the realism in the photos, really amazing work!

Spectacular work again!  &apls &apls  The train station re-lot and the rail yard are wonderful and your rural pictures are always beautiful!

rooker1, Kergelen, jmyers2043, nbvc, ladybug, Republic, noahclem: thanks for attention friend  ;D thankfull if you enjoy  ()stsfd()

art128: this overpass too close with neighbor rail  connected, I think it will stall if the created override rail by rail  :D so I build rail overpass  :)

nas-t: I get from this http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/25834-main-railway-station-by-logan123456/

eugenelavery: oh sure, this very2 simple editor. you need photoshop, plugin photoshop "Topaz lens effect" you can get this one from internet, and last photoscape for frame if you like it. I use photoshop CS4.


ok lets start, we need RAW material from game, this my RAW:

Sardinia's capital Cagliari, easy to reach and well worth a leisurely visit, is a city that offers a bewitching blend of modern urbanity and medieval mystery. You come around a corner and suddenly find yourself in a street so narrow that hardly any light reaches it; and only a sliver of blue sky reminds you that the light source is the intense sun of the Mediterranean. Towering high over Cagliari is the museum citadel, worth spending time in not only for the magnificent artifacts of ancient cultures housed in it, but also because of its subtropical gardens with their inspiring panoramas of lagoons and salt water lakes. What should also not be missed is Cagliari's fish market, Mercato di San Benedetto, whose medley of sights and sounds is truly unforgettable.

Your city is very well put together and looks very realistic. 
Thanks for sharing.

wooow rural scenes are really fantastic!  :o The city seems very wooded. Waiting for more ...  ()stsfd()

Stunning pictures. Really great.  &apls

Wow, beautiful update again  &apls &apls  You're really doing a fantastic job with this MD. What struck me the most this time is how nice those canals look in your city--I think the photoshopping helps them a lot. I've been working really hard on canals made with game water and when I see these beautiful scenes it makes me wonder why I'm doing things the hard way  ;D

Speaking of photoshopping, nice work on the tutorial  :thumbsup:

Finally, are you using a road tree mod to get those nice CP2009 trees next to your roads or did you LOT that?

Keep it up  :thumbsup:

I´m not that busy in SC4 currently, too much other stuff, but what i have seen here is again outstanding work. So i only want to say: i love it, wonderful rural pictures, and a nice light effect, and a wonderful arranged town. Especially i like the picture where the canal ends in front of the high wall.

Poetto beach is a 10 minute bus ride for Cagliari, great to get out of the town, catch the bus at the bus station 1 euro for the ride.The beach is sandy and shallow perfect for small children. It is just 5 Km from the centre of Cagliari and stretches along about 11 Km of sandy coastline. This fine, white sandy beach attracts thousands of locals, as well as tourists, all year round, and the many kiosks, bars and bathing establishments offer a wide range of services and comforts.

The beach has cafes, public toilets (swot ones) and lots of sun beds and umbrellas, organised by different people. The cost is 8 euros for 2 sunbeds per day, 11 euros for 2 beds and umbrella, but you have to be early to get these.

Behind the long beach there are supermarkets; there is a large one near the white Lido building which has fruit, sandwiches and drinks at a reasonable price as the bars are expensive.

This is one excellent beach that you made there. Everything is fine from the lighthouse to the city along the beach side.

Very nices pictures, i like the ambiance  :)

Beautiful update again  &apls  The beaches and shoreline are just fantastic!

Where did you find that street tree mod you mentioned? I didn't know there was one that also worked for all those NWM networks  :thumbsup:

Looking forward to more!

I guess I should have watched more regularly .... your last two updates are really really beautiful!  &apls

Great work on the beach and that light house is perfectly placed.

Robin &apls

Oh great, because we want you out of Germany to make to Sardinia to vacation there! If not, the training camp of the German national team?  &apls

All these images are wonderful.  &apls
I like the scenery of the beach and the presentation of images makes them even better.

Yeah, Good presentation of these wonderful pictures ! Great job and keep up the good work  :thumbsup:

Awsome work again ! :) Love both the beach and the way you worked on that city.

I have a request, where can I find the median you used here for MAVE-6 ?

Fantastic update and all around great work.

Great Japanese-styled city  &apls  You are very multi-talented!

Nice work on your Japanese city! The rice fields are great and you've done a good job with the city centre. I like the night pictures.

Just a little thought, About the bridges over the irrigation rivers. I think if you can align them with the streets, as well as adding some when two street are facing each others, the result will be extremely better. ;)

rooker1 : thanks robin  :)

noahclem: ;D i just improvisation from photo

art128: thanks. about bridge, i know that  :P actually this street not maxis street, this street one pack with housing complex, can't align them  :) street on align side tile and bridge on center tile  :D

Nice japanese style town. My favorite images are 11.1 with the small stream and 12.0 night image. &apls

Delightful! And your pix seem sharper than my in game pix. What's your secret?

I know from this irrigation canal pack that you have bridges pieces that can be used there if I remember.

But that's no big deal,  your pictures are still elegant!

Nice work on your last update. I haven't seen Peg pond for a long time, and I must say it looks great the way you used it. The little lake in the snow is my favourite picture. Though, I don't know if it's a good idea to go on a boat with this weather and the night.  $%Grinno$%
I also like a lot the day picture with the row houses and the pond going around them, lovely!

The mill is one of the loveliest bats i have seen! Great location and surrounding detail.

Some nice works going on there! Lovely work on that island with the two churches.

You could just edit the church's lots so that there are no cars at all as well as add some details to the shore and you have a perfect picture!

Wow, love the photo-editing! The fog around that church on the island is really cool. :) Fantastic update, everything looks cool.

Also for the tilt shift, your blur is far too strong. ;)
