Il Castello
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
Precipitous stone walls enclose Cagliari's medieval citadel, known to locals as Su
Casteddu, once the fortified home of the city's aristocracy and religious authorities. Inside
the battlements, the old medieval city unfolds like origami. The university, cathedral, mu-
seums, honey-coloured Pisan palaces and towers are wedged into a jigsaw of narrow high-
walled alleys.

MUSEUM

( www.archeocaor.beniculturali.it ; Piazza dell' Arsenale; adult/reduced €3/1.50; 9am-8pm Tue-Sun)
The star of the Citadella dei Musei's four museums, this archaeological museum show-
cases artefacts spanning millennia of ancient history, including pint-sized nuraghic bronz-
etti (bronze figurines). In the absence of any written records, these are a vital source of in-
formation on Sardinia's mysterious nuraghic culture.
