Cagliari, old town walking tour
Description
A walk through the narrow streets of the old district of Castello, to discover the beauties of the city. Among Medieval Towers, Bastions, the Royal Palace and the Cathedral we will discover the history of this amazing fortress facing the sea. Cagliari is an ancient city with a very long history. Its origin dates back to the Phoenician Karalis, developed on a settlement traced back to the III Millennium b.C.. During Roman times became the capital of the island, and in the Middle Ages was the seat of different foreign dominations, which evanescences are still visible. The panoramic points of Castello will offer us an unforgettable view of the city and of the sea, of the Molentargius’ park and the Devil’s Saddle in all their beauty.

Great walking tour with Sylvie - fascinating insights into the history of Cagliari and the beautiful old buildings. Highly recommend ***
Sylvia was a knowledgeable and fun guide. She flipped back & forth between Italian & English with ease. It was especially interesting when she went off-script to answer our questions.
Silvia An excellent tour from a well informed guide. Recommended
We had a very informative tour with Silvia, who was super kind, our dog was with us and it wasn’t a problem. We got to learn a lot about the history of the city, but she was also happy to anwser questions about the everday life of locals today and even gave us a tip on where to spot flamingos nearby.
Excellent value especially Silvia’s knowledge about Sardinia and especially the deep history of Cagliari
