Overview

Every Italian chief town has a huge history behind and Cagliari is no exception. Founded as a colony with the name of "Castrum Callaretani" by the pisan settlers, Cagliari's historical center has a very long fascinating history in all places and monuments. As a fellow citizen and tour guide, I will be proud and glad to tell you about it. After the tour, you will be back home with the lovable memory of one of the most beautiful historical town centers in the whole Italy and Europe.
