Tuk Tuk tour of Cagliari 4 districts and Castle of San Michele
The city was built on seven hills: Castello, Colle San Michele, Colle di Bonaria, Monte Urpinu, Monte Claro, Tuvu Mannu and Tuvixeddu.
Cagliari, surrounded by imposing towers and bastions, hosts the largest and most important Punic necropolis of the Mediterranean, Tuvixeddu, whose archaeological finds are kept in the Archaeological Museum of Cagliari and the British Museum in London.
The Castle of San Michele is located on one of the highest hills of Cagliari. The main plant, probably of a single tower, is from the Byzantine Period or first “Giudicale” Period (10th century AD) and it had the defensive function of Santa Igia.
In 1327, after the Catalan conquest of Cagliari, the castle was offered to Berengar Carroz. After the fall of the “Giudicato” of Arborea, its defensive role became secondary. It was with the Count Giacomo Carroz that the castle became one of the most luxurious residences in Sardinia. The last member of the Carroz family, who lived in the castle, was the unfortunate Countess Violante, who died in 1511. After her death the castle was then included among the goods of the Spanish Crown.
In 1990, there were new restoration works and the reorganization of the hill. Today the castle offers a space for exhibitions, lectures and other cultural events.
