Cagliari Underground Tour

Join us to uncover the mysterious world beneath Cagliari on this tour of its underground network of tunnels, crypts, and quarries—a fascinating experience!

Activity Details

We’ll meet on Via Sant'Ignazio da Laconi to begin our tour of Cagliari's underground. Beneath the city lies a hidden network of quarries, cisterns, crypts, and tunnels, carved from the same limestone rock. These subterranean passages, once inaccessible, have been 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. The tunnel, now lit by soft candlelight, offers a magical atmosphere as we delve into its history.

Continuing through the historic Stampace and Marina neighborhoods, we’ll reach the Crypt of Santa Restituta, a natural cave filled with local legends.

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

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