Tour Guide, Sardinia, Italy
| 2 mins read
Cagliari is an emblem of evolution, change, freshness and life surrounded by water. It is situated in south Sardinia, in the middle of the Angels Gulf and between the Molentargius and Santa Gilla lagoons.
Cagliari has 4 historical districts: Stampace, the artistic district; la marina, the commercial district; Villanova, the farmers district and Castello, the noble district, where in old times lived the people of power. These were characteristics of the middles ages but they no longer apply. Castello is one of the four historic districts of Cagliari that dominates the city from a high. The first nucleus of the city was probably formed by the Phoenicians acropolis of Karali. This hilltop citadel is Cagliari’s most iconic image, its domes, towers and palazzi, once home to the city’s aristocracy, rising above the sturdy ramparts built by the Pisans and Aragonese. Walking through the streets of Castello you can sense the history of the most authentic Cagliari, between the present and the past; the ancient palaces and hidden churches where the narrow streets have changed little since medieval times. You should't miss the magnificent Cathedral, the Royal Palace, the panoramic terraces of the ramparts of Saint-Rémy and Santa Croce, which in the summer nights are also the nightlife centre. https://www.insidesardinia.com/contatti.php
