3 Hours Guided Tour of the Historic Districts of Cagliari
The tour leads to the discovery of the four historic districts of the city of Cagliari: Castello, Marina, Villanova and Stampace. Particular attention will be paid to the history of the city, from Roman times to the present day, reconstructed through its monuments, churches, squares, narrow streets and tree-lined avenues, but also through the traces left by the bombings of 1943 which had a considerable weight on the Cagliari we live in today. The city itself tells its own story.
