Carloforte

Carloforte is a fishing and resort town of located on Isola di San Pietro (Saint Peter's Island), approximately 7 kilometres (4 miles) off the southwestern coast of Sardinia, in southern Sardinia, Italy. According to a legend, a local church (Chiesa dei Novelli Innocenti) was founded in the early 14th century in honour of hundreds of participants to the so-called Children's Crusade of 1212 who perished in a shipwreck just off the island on their way to North Africa during a gale. The church, called Chiesa dei Novelli Innocenti and is located within the town perimeter, is not currently used as a church (only one time in the year); it was the only evident remainder of building found at the time of colonization in 1739.
