CAGLIARI - Italy Travel Guide | Around The World
Cagliari is an Italian municipality and the capital of the island of Sardinia, an autonomous region of Italy. Cagliari's Sardinian name Casteddu literally means castle. It has about 150,000 inhabitants, while its metropolitan city (including Cagliari and 16 other nearby municipalities) has more than 431,000 inhabitants. According to Eurostat, the population of the Functional urban area, the commuting zone of Cagliari, rises to 476,974. Cagliari is the 26th largest city in Italy and the largest city on the island of Sardinia.
An ancient city with a long history, Cagliari has seen the rule of several civilisations. Under the buildings of the modern city there is a continuous stratification attesting to human settlement over the course of some five thousand years, from the Neolithic to today. Historical sites include the prehistoric Domus de Janas, very damaged by cave activity, a large Carthaginian era necropolis, a Roman era amphitheatre, a Byzantine basilica, three Pisan-era towers and a strong system of fortification that made the town the core of Spanish Habsburg imperial power in the western Mediterranean Sea. Its natural resources have always been its sheltered harbour, the often powerfully fortified hill of Castel di Castro, the modern Casteddu, the salt from its lagoons, and, from the hinterland, wheat from the Campidano plain and silver and other ores from the Iglesiente mines.
Cagliari was the capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia from 1324 to 1848, when Turin became the formal capital of the kingdom (which in 1861 became the Kingdom of Italy). Today the city is a regional cultural, educational, political and artistic centre, known for its diverse Art Nouveau architecture and several monuments. It is also Sardinia's economic and industrial hub, having one of the biggest ports in the Mediterranean Sea, an international airport, and the 106th highest income level in Italy (among 8,092 comuni), comparable to that of several northern Italian cities.
It is also the seat of the University of Cagliari, founded in 1607, and of the Primate Roman Catholic archdiocese of Sardinia, since the 5th century AD. The main beach of Cagliari is the Poetto. It stretches for about 8 kilometres (5 mi), from Sella del Diavolo (Devil's Saddle) up to the coastline of Quartu Sant'Elena. Poetto is also the name of the district located on the western stretch of the strip between the beach and Saline di Molentargius (Molentargius's Salt Mine). Another smaller beach is that of Calamosca near the Sant'Elia district. On the coast between Calamosca and Poetto beaches, among the cliffs of the Sella del Diavolo, lies Cala Fighera, a small bay.Cagliari is close to other seaside locations such as Santa Margherita di Pula, Chia, Geremeas, Solanas, Villasimius and Costa Rei.
The city has numerous libraries and is also home to the State Archive, containing thousands of handwritten documents from the foundation of the Kingdom of Sardinia (1325 AD) to the present. In addition to numerous local and university department libraries, the most important libraries are the old University Library, with thousands of ancient books, the Provincial Library, the Regional Library, and the Mediateca of the Mediterranean, which contains the municipal archive and library collection.
Considerable remains of the ancient city of Karalis are still visible, including those of the Tuvixeddu necropolis, the Roman amphitheatre, traditionally called Is centu scalas (One hundred steps), and of an aqueduct used to provide generally scarce water. Still visible are also some ancient cisterns of vast extent, the ruins of a small circular temple, and numerous sepulchres on a hill outside the modern town that appear to have formed the necropolis of the ancient city. The amphitheatre stages open-air operas and concerts during the summer.
The Palaeo-Christian Basilica of San Saturnino, dedicated to a martyr killed under Diocletian's reign, Saturninus of Cagliari, patron saint of the city, was built in the 5th century. Of the original building the dome and the central part remain, to which two arms (one with a nave and two aisles) were added later. A Palaeo-Christian crypt is also under the church of San Lucifero (1660), dedicated to Saint Lucifer, a bishop of the city. The church has a Baroque façade with ancient columns and sculpted parts, some of which came from the nearby necropolis.

SARDINIE 09/2017 Pula Nora Su Guventeddu UBYTOVÁNÍ NA PLÁŽI UHD
Další perfektní UBYTOVÁNÍ NA PLÁŽI pro velkou rodinu nebo partu přátel na Sardinii je Villa na pláži Su Guventeddu. Více informací naleznete na zde:
Ve vile na pláži Su Guventeddu jsme strávili deset dní v září 2017. Vybavení vily je jednoduché, ale najdete tam vše, co potřebujete pro ideální dovolenou s dětmi a přáteli. V domě se vyspí pohodlně až deset lidí.
Jediné, co mi chybělo, byla myčka nádobí. Mýt nádobí po deseti lidech je dloooouhý proces.
Poloha je dokonalá. Dům je přímo na klidné pláži. Nedaleko od břehu je parádní útes se spoustou rybiček, takže i milovníci šnorchlování si přijdou na své.
NENECHTE SI UJÍT:
Procházku centrem nedalekého městečka Pula.
Archeologické naleziště Nora (Area Archeologica di Nora)
JAK SE TAM DOSTANU:
Z Prahy létají přímé lety vždy v neděli a ve čtvrtek. Cena se pohybuje kolem 7800 Kč.
Cesta trvá 2:15.
Kdo by chtěl ušetřit za letenky je tu možnost letět s jedním přestupem za cca 4000Kč, ale cesta bude trvat 7-8 hodin.
Cesta z letiště v Cagliari na pláž Su Guventeddu trvá cca 45 minut. Pronajali jsme si auto na letišti:
Půjčení auta s pojištěním vyjde na cca 1000Kč na den (záleží na vašem výběru).
Nebo můžete využít transfer:
Doporučila bych vám pronajmout si auto, abyste mohli prozkoumávat krásné pláže v okolí. Zároveň do obchodu a do centra městečka Pula je to 10 min autem.
KDY VYRAZIT:
Do Itálie k moři doporučuji vyrazit koncem června nebo začátkem září. Rozhodně nedoporučuji srpen. Italové mají prázdniny, všude je přelidněno a ceny jsou nejvyšší.
KOLIK MĚ TO BUDE STÁT:
Cena při deseti lidech v termínu 10.6. – 21.6.2018 (11 nocí) – cca 12000Kč na osobu.
Cena zahrnuje letenku s jedním přestupem, ubytování a pronájem auta.
To není vůbec špatné, co?
