Cagliari map

Càgliari is the capital of the island of Sardinia, an autonomous region of Italy.Under the name of Karalis it was one of a string of Phoenician trading colonies in Sardinia, including Sulcis, Nora, and Tharros, that were founded from Tyre in the 7th century BC. It passed with the rest of the island first to the control of Carthage and then to Rome in 238 BC when the Romans defeated the Carthaginians. In the 18th century, after a brief rule of the Austrian Habsburgs, Cagliari and Sardinia came under the House of Savoy in 1720. From the 1870s, with the unification of Italy, the city experienced a century of rapid growth. Cagliari is home to the football team Cagliari Calcio, winner of the Italian league championship in 1970. Among main touristic monuments and places to visit there are St. Pancras tower and the Elephant tower, the Cathedral, which was repaired in the 1930s turning the former Baroque facade into a Medieval Pisan style facade, the palace of the Provincial Government, the Sardinian Archaeological Museum, the biggest and most important regarding the prehistoric Nuragic civilisation of Sardinia, the Roman Amphitheatre, a unique monument in the world because it is the only Roman amphitheatre carved into a block of rock.
