The Roman amphitheater in Cagliari is the most important public building of the Roman period. It is located in a natural valley on the southern slopes of the Buon Cammino hill. Unfortunately, it was used as a quarry in the Middle Ages, and as a result, only a small part of it remains.

From there you can also take a lift down.

Cagliari's landmark is the imposing Cathedral of Santa Maria. It was built in the 13th century but has undergone numerous structural alterations over the years. It incorporates Romantic and Baroque styles, as well as the Pisan style. The current façade recalls the cathedral's original Romantic appearance, but the Baroque style still dominates the interior. A tour of the church reveals magnificent, detailed paintings on the ceiling, imposing sculptures, and a marble pulpit that once stood in Pisa Cathedral. In the crypt, you can marvel at around 300 burial chambers.

The tower got its name from a marble elephant statue above the gate. How could it be otherwise: From the tower, you can also enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of Cagliari and Sardinia. The price for this view is almost 120 steps.

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.

A beautiful view from the Devil's Saddle. Sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and plenty of water are highly recommended for the hike up the mountain (130 meters elevation gain).
