Teave

Amphitheatres, archives, auditoriums, libraries, cinemas, galleries, museums, picture galleries, theatres, observatories, planetariums, archaeological parks... if you’re looking for a little bit of culture in Cagliari, you're spoiled for choice! Are you ready to discover some of them?
Ajò! (i.e. “Let’s go!” in Sardinian)
﻿
Roaming around the historical district of Castello, with its tall fortifications and characteristic watchtowers (the Elephant Tower and St. Pancrace), you’ll find an abundance of museums and cultural landmarks.
Did you know that the ancient University Library features a whole room dating back to the 18th Century that’s kept intact with all its ancient fixtures? And if dusty old books are not your thing but you feel like learning a bit more about the local history, the Citadel of Museums is the place for you!
Of course, if you’re interested in something a little more modern, why not take a look at our MEM library, or have a little fun spotting architect Renzo Piano’s building in the city?
EXMA and the old Ghetto could be what you’re looking for if you’re interested in exhibitions, cultural events and festivals, and of course, you’ll have to take a look at the Roman Amphitheater, carved right into one of the seven hills in town.
﻿
For this activity, you can start from Piazza Yenne and choose your direction based on your interests: you can have a look around the historical neighbourhood of Stampace if you’re more into modern buildings and Art Nouveau, you could go up to Castello and Buoncammino if you like archaeology and ancient history, or you can have a look around Villanova and down towards Bonaria if you’d rather find some modern museums, or even the old monumental cemetery.
If you're tackling this activity right after activity 4 in the playlist, you'll already be right above the Amphitheater and you can stroll down from there. A map showing some interesting landmarks is available in the resources section and in the map below.
We recommend the use of Google Maps for finding your way.
﻿
﻿
Hint: if you don’t have internet access through your phone’s mobile data, turn on your wi-fi and look for “Free Wi-Fi Ca” network. Much of the city centre is covered by this open wi-fi network that allows you to navigate for 3 consecutive hours for free by just accepting their terms and conditions.
﻿
You’ll have to complete at least 2 of the 4 listed tasks in order to claim your badge.

Take a selfie with the Statue of Carlo Felice, or better yet, ask somebody else to take a picture of you with the statue while you imitate its characteristic pose.
﻿
Fun fact: when the local soccer team wins any big match, the fans like to dress the statue with the team’s official shirt and decorate it with its colours, red and blue.

Attention please! Many museums don’t allow you to take photos inside, ask for permission first.

Task no.3

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Find a public building (e.g. the City Hall or the State Archive) and take a picture of its flags: do you know what they all represent? Can you spot the Sardinian flag and do you know what its name is (in Italian)?

Task no.4

Sardinian is an ancient and beautiful language, enriched by an enormous number of local dialects. Can you learn any saying in the local language?
