In the historical center of the city is the Cathedral of Tortoli, the Church of St. Andrew, patron of the city, which in 1832 was hit by the flooding of the river Foddeddu, a small river in the area.

This church dates from the eighteenth century and the Baroque style is predominant.

Inside, divided into 3 aisles, there are numerous works of art, as well as slightly raised marble altar.

In the area of the port of Arbatax arise two other monuments, two towers: the tower of San Miguel Spanish and the tower of St. Gemiliano, located on opposite sides of the promontory and built to military-defensive back in the seventeenth century.

Another place to visit if you love history and archeology is the village of low stone monoliths and founded almost 2000 years before Christ, which is located outside of the country towards the park of San Salvatore.

The Domus Janas of the ancient buildings are carved into the rocks of Mount Terli and consist of several rooms decorated with circular openings with frames.

Finally, on the Rio Foddeddu, a small river in the area, you can see an iron bridge of recent construction dates back to 1906.
