The Heart & Soul of Sardinia

Join Celebrity Chef ,award winning author- Maria Liberati as she explores the city of Cagliari-the heart and soul of Sardinia.

 

On the island of Sardinia, it’s capital Cagliari shines as the center of the metropolis and stands as the perfect pillar between modern and medieval. Cagliari’s long and rich history has constructed monumental architecture throughout its domain, and yet it still manages to make room for the modern era.

Cagliari  stands as a bewitching blend of the sights and sounds of the culture. Castello, which literally means castle is  the history district of the capital and  a must-see and main attraction of the city. Limestone towers and cryptic houses flower around a magnificent cathedral, which was restored in the 1930s, which overlooks the Gulf of Cagliari (Angels Gulf) from atop a hill. This Olympus of Cagliari is a treasured token of their history, and it is greatly valued to the Cagliaritani (inhabitants of Cagliari).

Although the capital has great historical importance, the future is still on its horizons as it works on projects to help the increasing tourism. New museums are being constructed for the more modern art, as well as more subways and metros are being constructed between cities, including Cagliari. New stadiums and amphitheatres are being designed and pursued, as well as reconstruction of falling structures.

The magical mix of old and new create an amazing balance that awes tourists and visitors. Clean beaches and parks adorn the capital of Sardinia as the greenest city, and the nightlife of clubs and pubs keep the heart of Sardinia beating. Cagliari should be your first stop on the mystifying island of Sardinia.
