Half day guided tour in the port quarter of Marina, Cagliari
History is full of maritime cities that have based their power and wealth on their port, and Cagliari is one of them. While not as famous and glorious as cities such as Venice, Genoa or Pisa, Cagliari is one of the oldest not only in Italy but even in all of Europe, something of which I, as a guide and a Cagliari native myself, am proud!

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Museo del Tesoro e Area Archeologica di Sant'Eulalia
We begin at the Sant'Eulalia Archaeological Area, which includes the remains of ancient Karales, the Latin name for Cagliari in the Roman age, during the late ancient and early medieval ages, before the migration of its inhabitants to the center of Santa Igia. Once entered and paid the ticket, we proceed to visit the area, following the established route within the archaeological area itself, observing in detail the ancient Roman age neighborhood before its abandonment.
Chiesa di Santa Lucia
Once the visit to the archaeological area of Sant'Eulalia is over, we will proceed to view from the outside the ruins of the church of Santa Lucia, one of the oldest churches within Cagliari, founded in the times of the "Giudicati", small indipendent sardinian kingdoms, about a century before the establishment of the colony of Castrum Callaretani by the Pisan settlers, today historic quarter of Castello, on which the Marina district was directly dependent. Afterwards we will proceed to have a coffee, offered by me, at a nearby café.
Chiesa di Sant'Eulalia
After a coffee break, we proceed to visit the Church of Sant'Eulalia, founded in Aragonese age and dedicated to the patron saint of Barcelona herself, one of the few remaining examples of Catalan Gothic style in Cagliari.
