Cagliari quartiere La Marina
La Marina è uno dei quattro quartieri storici di Cagliari. I suoi confini sono delimitati a nord dalle mura del Castello, a sud dalla via Roma (oltre la quale si trova il porto), a est dal viale Regina Margherita e ad ovest dal largo Carlo Felice.
L'area della Marina era sicuramente abitata in età romana, di cui si trovano testimonianze architettoniche nell'area archeologica presso la chiesa di Sant'Eulalia, dove gli scavi condotti hanno portato alla luce una porzione di strada lastricata e, ai lati, resti di abitazioni. Nell'area sottostante la cinquecentesca chiesa di Sant'Agostino sono invece presenti resti di ambienti riferibili a un edificio termale.
Il quartiere è caratterizzato dalla presenza di numerosi edifici religiosi. Fra i più antichi si trova la chiesa di Sant'Eulalia, parrocchia collegiata, edificata nella seconda metà del XIV secolo in stile gotico - catalano, dedicata alla patrona di Barcellona.
Rilevante dal punto di vista artistico è la chiesa di Sant'Agostino, del XVI secolo, una delle poche testimonianze di architettura rinascimentale in Sardegna.
Degne di nota anche le altre chiese del quartiere: il Santo Sepolcro, Santa Rosalia, che conserva il corpo di San Salvatore da Horta, San Francesco di Paola, Sant'Antonio abate, la chiesa delle Monache Cappuccine, dedicata alla Vergine della Pietà e la Cappella dell'Asilo della Marina, già Oratorio della Vergine d'Itria, luogo legato al ricordo della venerabile suor Giuseppina Nicoli.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cagliari (UK: , US: ; Italian: [ˈkaʎʎari] (listen); Sardinian: Casteddu [kasˈteɖːu]; Latin: Caralis) 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 155,000 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.

SUMMARY
=======
Sardinia ( sar-DIN-ee-ə; Italian: Sardegna [sarˈdeɲɲa]; Sardinian: Sardìgna [saɾˈdiɲɲa] or Sardìnnia [saɾˈdinja]; Sassarese: Sardhigna; Gallurese: Saldigna; Algherese: Sardenya; Tabarchino: Sardegna) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily and before Cyprus). It is located west of the Italian Peninsula and to the immediate south of the French island of Corsica.
Sardinia is politically a region of Italy, whose official name is Regione Autonoma della Sardegna / Regione Autònoma de Sardigna (Autonomous Region of Sardinia), and enjoys some degree of domestic autonomy granted by a specific Statute. It is divided into four provinces and a metropolitan city, with Cagliari being the region's capital and its largest city as well. Sardinia's indigenous language and the other minority languages (Sassarese, Corsican Gallurese, Algherese Catalan and Ligurian Tabarchino) spoken on the island are recognized by the regional law and enjoy equal dignity with Italian.Due to the variety of its ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, largely uninhabited territories, streams, rocky coasts and long sandy beaches, the island has been defined metaphorically as a micro-continent. In the modern era, many travelers and writers have exalted its beauty, remained untouched until the contemporary age and immersed in a landscape that houses the vestiges of the Nuragic civilization.
