How to get to SRT

The Sardinia Radio Telescope site is located in the Municipality of San Basilio in the area known as “Pranu Sanguni“, about 35 km north of Cagliari, in the heart of the Gerrei.

The site is at an altitude of about 700 m above sea level. The geographical coordinates of the entrance, to copy into your navigator, are: 39°29’35.72″N 9°14’48.70″E.
