Viewpoint on top of Via del Fossario

Highlight • Viewpoint

The market hall is a good size with all Sardinian specialties. The old town at the Elefantentor deserves a visit.

The Bastione Santa Croce offers one of the best views of the upper town. It is located in the district of Castello. Cagliari's nightlife also starts on the terrace.

The old bastion was a defensive structure that was removed in the 19th century and converted into a neoclassical square. From there, you can enjoy another expansive view of Cagliari, as the viewing platform is located on the aforementioned hill in the old town. You can also easily reach the platform by elevator, avoiding the marble staircase. Also worth seeing on the old bastion is the triumphal arch, damaged in World War II but subsequently rebuilt.

San Pancrazio Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

In the heart of Cagliari's historic Castello district, the Torre di San Pancrazio stands proudly, a striking testament to medieval architecture and Sardinia's turbulent history. The thick walls of this tower fortress, built in 1305 during the Pisan rule of the city, have kept many secrets.

Behind this monumental structure is the Sardinian architect Giovanni Capula, who designed not only this fortress but also the famous Torre dell'Elefante and the now partially destroyed Torre dell'Aquila. Each of these towers tells of a time when Cagliari and all of Sardinia were preparing for impending invasions, especially from the Aragonese. The light-colored limestone used to build the Torre di San Pancrazio comes directly from the nearby Colle di Bonaria and gives the tower its distinctive appearance. With walls up to 3 meters thick in some places, it stood like an impregnable bulwark against would-be invaders.

The tower served not only as a defensive structure but also as a gateway to the Castello district. Even today, you can stroll through this gate and be transported back to the times when knights and merchants passed through here.

Under Aragonese rule, the Torre di San Pancrazio changed again when it was converted into a prison. But despite all the changes and the centuries that have passed, the tower exudes a timeless elegance, especially after the restoration work in 1906 that partially restored it to its original state.

As you wander through Cagliari, don't miss this masterpiece of medieval architecture and feel the breath of history that hangs in the air here.
