Cagliari Attractions

Must-see places if you are visiting Cagliari for the first time.

The map of Cagliari with sights will please any tourist: excellent clean beaches here neighbor with unique archaeological excavations, and to museums and rare monuments, as they say, a short walk.

The most popular attractions in Cagliari, with names that are known far beyond Sardinia:

Torre del Elefante tower.

Torre del Elefante Tower. Built in 1307, the tower got its name from the elephant sculpture placed on it. The structure is located in the historic city center, in the Castello district. In the Middle Ages, prisoners were held and executed here, with their heads displayed publicly. You can climb to the observation deck for 5 EUR.

Torre San Pancrazio Tower.

Torre San Pancrazio Tower. Built almost simultaneously with the "Tower of the Elephant" (in 1305), the Torre-san-Pankracio also served as a prison. Photos of this landmark in Cagliari adorn many tourist brochures. Both towers were part of the city's defensive fortifications, surrounded by walls that were 3 meters thick.

Roman amphitheatre

Roman Amphitheatre. Carved into limestone cliffs in the 1st–2nd centuries, the amphitheatre was used for gladiator fights, executions, and sporting events. No tourist route in Cagliari is complete without visiting the amphitheatre — this structure is truly worth seeing. Address: Via Sant’Ignazio da Laconi, 19. Adult ticket costs 5 EUR, child ticket — 2.5 EUR, student ticket — 3 EUR. Children under 6 enter free.

Fortress of San Michele.

San Michele Fortress. Like towers, the fortress was originally a defensive structure, so its appearance is quite gloomy. However, today it hosts film screenings, exhibitions, lectures, and other cultural events regularly. The gloomy fortress has turned into a modern center of culture and arts. Address: Cagliari, Via Sirai s.n.; tel.: +39-070-500-656. Regular admission is 6 EUR, discounted — 4.5 EUR.
