Your Experience

The Cathedral and its Crypt

Meet your guide and begin your 1.5-hour tour to discover the hidden gems of Cagliari in front of Santa Maria Cathedral. As you enter the cathedral, you will be amazed by its stunning architecture, which reflects the various cultural influences that have shaped the city's history. Explore its crypt which houses the remains of prominent figures from Sardinian history.

Take a walk through the Stampace district, the oldest part of the city. See its most significant landmarks and get insights into the history and culture of this fascinating area. Visit the tunnel shelter of the Salesian School, now a private, mysterious gallery with red brick arcades. It was a shelter for students during World War II.
