The medieval district of Castello is the emblem of Cagliari. It embodies the city’s vibrant heart and collective memory, with its enduring fortified walls and the imposing Pisan towers of San Pancrazio and the Elephant. Winding narrow streets, ancient noble palaces, artisan workshops, and humble medieval dwellings all contribute to the district’s authentic historic atmosphere.
Stampace is the oldest district of the city: here lies the artisan memory of the people of Cagliari. A simple neighbourhood, reminiscent of ancient workshops and lacking monumental palaces or large civic buildings.
Overlooking the sea, the Marina district stretches out. Originally, it was home to port workers, customs officers, fishermen, and the working-class people of Cagliari.
Villanova is the district of Cagliari that stretches towards the countryside. Even today, you might unexpectedly come across gardens or vegetable plots next to the traditional single-story houses. Once enclosed by walls, Villanova was considered an elegant area for strolls by the peasant and rural bourgeoisie.
