La Maddalena Island is surrounded by Budelli, Caprera, Razzoli, Santa Maria, Santo Stefano and Spargi. This group of small granitic rock islands has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Spargi is the third island in size but also the most isolated one along with the small islands of Spargiotto and Spargiottello and the numerous sharp rocks that rise out of the seabed. The wonderful Gala Corsara, Cala d'Alga, Cala Caniccio and Cala Granara have borne the fame won by the island of Spargi after a Roman ship was found in Cala Corsara. The remains of the ship are now visible at the Museum N. Labroglia of La Maddalena. The island is divided into "tanche", which are rectangular portions of land surrounded with stones, used to breed wild livestock. Spargi has no tourist facilities and is seasonally inhabited by shepherds. The highest and most panoramic point is Monte Guardia Preposti (155 metres).
