Cagliari and surroundings
Cagliari is a city extraordinarily rich in history, archaeology, and nature. Those who love exploring the past can visit unique sites like the Necropolis of Tuvixeddu, the Cave of the Viper, the majestic Elephant Tower, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Galleria dello Sperone, and the evocative Crypt of Santa Restituta, in the heart of the historic district of Stampace.
For nature lovers, the Molentargius Natural Park and its salt pans offer a spectacular setting, with trails immersed in greenery and the chance to spot pink flamingos.
In the surroundings, it’s worth venturing further: from La Maddalena and Carloforte, to breathe the island’s authenticity, to Nuoro, the cultural heart of Barbagia, where Sardinian art, traditions, and identity meet.

The sound garden of Sciola
Art, nature, and music in San Sperate
Just a few minutes from Cagliari, in the creative village of San Sperate, lies the Sound Garden, a fascinating open-air museum hosting the famous sound stones sculpted by master Pinuccio Sciola.
Made of basalt and limestone, these sculptures combine art and nature, and come to life when touched, emitting deep and harmonious sounds that transform the visit into a true sensory experience.
The Sound Garden is a unique place where contemplation, sound, and landscape merge, ideal for those seeking inspiration, emotion, and out-of-the-ordinary beauty.
Visit to Nuraghe Arrubiu
A journey into ancient Sardinia
Located in Orroli, in the unspoiled hinterland of Sardinia, the Nuraghe Arrubiu is one of the most imposing and fascinating archaeological sites of the Nuragic civilization. The name, meaning “red nuraghe”, derives from the particular colour of the volcanic basalt with which it was built.
This extraordinary complex, with a central tower over 14 metres high surrounded by courtyards and secondary towers, represents a masterpiece of prehistoric engineering.
The guided tour, also available after sunset, allows for an immersive experience among history, archaeology, and wild nature, accompanied by expert guides who narrate the legends and mysteries of an ancient civilization.
