Every Italian city has an enormous history behind it, and Cagliari is no exception. Founded as a colony under the name “Castrum Callaretani” by Pisans, Cagliari’s historic centre boasts a truly captivating past reflected in each place and monument. Being both a local resident and an archaeologist myself, I am delighted to share this story with you. During our walk through the heart of the old town, we shall explore the famous Medieval Towers of San Pancrazio and l’Elefante (the Elephant). You can admire these landmarks before visiting the stunning Basilica Cattedrale di Santa Maria e Cecilia – climb to the summit of its campanile for breathtaking panoramas over Cagliari! Our journey concludes at the imposing Bastione di Saint Rémy. Once your guided walking tour ends here, like everyone who explores Castello district, you too will return home carrying fond memories of wandering around what may well be among the loveliest ancient urban centres found anywhere across Italy or even throughout entire Europe.
