Archaeological sights in Cagliari

  1. A

    Basilica di San Saturnino

    The Basilica di San Saturnino is an august example of Paleo-Christian architecture and one of the island’s oldest churches. Dating from the 5th century, it stands over a Roman necropolis where Saturninus, a much revered local martyr, was buried in AD 304.

  2. B

    Anfiteatro Romano

    The Anfiteatro Romano is Cagliari’s most impressive Roman monument. Although much of the original 2nd-century theatre was cannibalised for building material, enough has survived to pique the imagination. In summer, the amphitheatre recovers something of its vocation by hosting summer concerts.
