2. "Su Nuraxi" is the UNESCO Heritage site in Sardinia, dating back to the Nuraghi culture. Its oldest section was built in the Middle Bronze Age (XV century B. C. ). It consists of a massive structure compounded by towers, walls and a village, and it is amazing for the perfection of its architecture me show you how the ancient Nuraghi people lived. Follow me in the narrow paths of the village to explore the houses and the breath taking main building. The first part of the visit consists in exploring the huts and the surrounding towers . The second part will be the most exciting: climbing the massive structure, walking along the narrow corridors in order to reach the internal courtyard and exploring the highest towers

We stop so we can enjoy the view over the rock formation known as "The devil's saddle" while enjoying a coffee in one of the many kiosks along the beach. This is really like the Cagliaritani (inhabitants of Cagliari) do

About Cagliari

Cagliari, capital of Sardinia, is a hilltop port of medieval towers, Roman ruins and a long city beach, with flamingos on its salt lagoons.

Cagliari rises on a limestone hill above the Gulf of Cagliari, on the southern coast of Sardinia. The walled Castello quarter at the top holds the Pisan towers of San Pancrazio and the Elephant, the cathedral with its Baroque interior and terraces with sea views. A Roman amphitheatre cut into the rock, from the second century, survives lower down, and the Bastione di Saint Remy is a monumental stairway and terrace.
