Join us to uncover the mysterious world beneath Cagliari on this tour of its underground network of tunnels, crypts, and quarries.

Activity Details

We’ll meet on Via Sant'Ignazio da Laconi to begin our tour of Cagliari's underground. Beneath the present-day city lies a hidden network of quarries, cisterns, crypts, and tunnels, carved from limestone. These passages have been carefully restored and are now open for exploration.

Our first stop is the Galleria Rifugio dell'Istituto dei Salesiani, a 120-meter (393 feet) tunnel that served as a refuge during the bombings of 1943. This tunnel, lit by soft candlelight, provides an insight into its historical significance.

We will continue on foot through the historic Stampace and Marina neighborhoods to the Crypt of Santa Restituta, a natural cave rich with local legends.

Next, we will visit the Museum of the Treasury and Archaeological Area of Sant'Eulalia, covering 900 square meters (9,687 sq ft) beneath the church of Sant'Eulalia. This site reveals ruins from various historical periods, showcasing the city's history.

After 2 hours of exploring, we’ll conclude our journey through Cagliari’s hidden underground.
