Quartiere Castello - A visit to Cagliari isn’t complete without exploring the old town’s famous areas and three of its four historic districts. See Cagliari through a local’s eyes as your guide leads you through the central historic district of Castello, or “castle.” Sardinia is rich in ancient history, and Castello is a prime example. Still partially enclosed by bastioned walls and two medieval towers, it is the city’s old fortification atop a hill overlooking Angels’ Gulf.
In addition to the numerous beautiful churches and streets lined with restaurants and shops, your knowledgeable guide will share stories of Cagliari’s past during your 1.5-hour walk. - The Royal Palace - You’ll have access to the Royal Palace and the Cathedral; please note that these monuments may close without prior notice.
- Cattedrale di Santa Cecilia - Built in the 13th century in the Pisan-Romanesque style, it later evolved into Gothic, Baroque, and Neo-Romanesque styles. Beneath the presbytery, the Crypt-Sanctuary preserves the relics of local Martyrs. With a Latin cross plan, the church’s interior features three naves with a transept and side chapels. On the right side, in the Aragonese Chapel, a precious relic is preserved, believed to be part of Jesus’ crown, which arrived in Cagliari in 1527, along with other relics and artworks taken from various churches in Rome and the Papal apartment. Just before reaching the harbor, the ship encountered a storm. Someone aware of the precious cargo, convinced that the storm was divine wrath for sacrilegious theft, confessed to some religious figures on the ship, who, upon arrival in Cagliari, informed the archbishop of the events.
-
Marina - You’ll also explore the Marina district, where your guide will highlight some churches. Although extensively remodeled over the centuries, the structure retains much history and beauty.
