Cagliari Underground Tour

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, number 64, to begin our tour of Cagliari's underground. Beneath the city, a hidden network of quarries, cisterns, crypts, and tunnels exists, carved from limestone. These subterranean passages have been restored 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. Now lit by candlelight, it offers a unique atmosphere as we delve into its history.

We will then walk through the historic Stampace and Marina neighborhoods to reach the Crypt of Santa Restituta, a natural cave filled with local legends.

Next, we will visit the Museum of the Treasury and Archaeological Area of Sant'Eulalia in the Marina district. This site spans 900 square meters (9,687 sq ft) beneath the church of Sant'Eulalia and reveals ruins from various historical periods.

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