Cagliari is the chief town and the regional capital of Sardinia and the most important town and port of the island, which is the base for the local economy. Cagliari is really rich in monuments and history. You absolutely must visit the Quartiere Castello, with its typical medieval lanes, in the same style of the white limestone Towers that emerge from the old town centre. Finally we advice you to see, especially in the evening while drinking a good aperitif, the St Croce Bastion, from where you can admire the Gulf of Cagliari and the nearby Elephant Tower.
