Museums and Monuments

Cagliari is renowned as a city of artistic and cultural interest. It boasts a rich, fascinating history and its charming streets retell the tapestry of events which have formed Sardinia's chief town. Cagliari's numerous museums offer visitors the chance to trace the steps from the city's ancient past up to recent times. We recommend you visit Cagliari Council's website (http://www.comune.cagliari.it/portale/it/cultura.wp) under the section "Musei e Pinacoteche" for a complete list of museums and galleries in the city.

We would also like to suggest some places of interest for you to visit: the Cathedral and the Basilica of N. S. di Bonaria, two of the most important churches in Cagliari; the Museum Citadel, a cultural must for visitors to the city since it offers a number of museum exhibitions, as well as the wonderful National Gallery; the Botanical Gardens; Lazzaretto in the Sant'Elia quarter where visitors will find the Museum of Sardinia's Towers and Castles.

A city with Cagliari's ancient past offers visitors a vast selection of monuments. Besides the Basilica of N. S. di Bonaria and the Cathedral, Cagliari boasts numerous beautiful churches to visit, such as the Basilica of San Saturnino, dedicated to the city's Patron Saint, the Cathedral of Santa Maria, and the Sant'Efisio church and crypt. We also recommend a visit to the Royal Palace, the Roman Amphitheatre, the beautiful Bonaria cemetery and of course a stroll around the San Remy Bastion.
