Villasimius is a comune (municipality) in the Province of South Sardinia in the Italian region of Sardinia, located about 35 kilometers (22 mi) east of Cagliari.
Due to its strategically important site, Villasimius’ territory was inhabited since prehistoric times, as testified by nuraghe (19th-6th centuries BC), Phoenician-Carthaginian (7th-2nd centuries BC), and Roman (3rd-century BC-6th century AD) remains.
During the giudicati (Sardinian kingdoms), Aragonese and Spanish reigns, the territory suffered numerous pirate raids and became increasingly depopulated. The village name was, at least from the 13th century, Carbonara; this was repopulated from the early 19th century, when it was under the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont, becoming a commune in 1838. Villasimius’ economy was traditionally based on agriculture and shepherding and, from 1875 to the extraction of granite. Its tourism industry began in the late 1960s and is now Villasimius’ main economic activity.
In 1998 the Capo Carbonara National Marine Park was created. It encompasses all the waters surrounding the headlands in the eastern Gulf of Cagliari, from Villasimius’ western border with Solanas to its northern border with Castiadas.
Most important beaches [1] of the area are Cala Burroni, Cala Caterina, Campus, Piscadeddus, Porto Giunco, Porto Sa Ruxi, Punta Molentis, Simius, Spiaggia del Riso, Timi Ama. Wikipedia

I’ve been to Villasimius twice in 1983 and 1986, beautiful places that I don’t know now how and how much they have changed
