Additional Information

Exploring the subterranean wonders of Cagliari is a unique and exciting experience. Beneath the veneer of the modern city lies a hidden universe of caverns, crypts, and tunnels.

We’ll embark on a walk across the historical districts of Stampace and Marina, where we will discover the Tunnel–Shelter of the Salesian School. This long private passage served as a refuge for students during World War II air raids. Nowadays, the tunnel flaunts an aura of mysticism with its red-brick arches lit by gentle candlelight.
Our adventure will further lead us to the awe-inspiring crypt of Saint Restituta, abundant with captivating tales. The journey will conclude at the Archaelogical Area of Saint Eulalia, home to remarkable subterranean relics.

Please note, the tour involves limited outdoor walking.

Based on the operational hours of the sites, alterations in the route may occasionally be required, leading to visits of other underground locations.

Very interesting, to repeat - All very nice and interesting Spectacular the Crypt of Santa Restituta and the Archaeological Area of Sant'Eulalia The best part is however the explanation of the Francesca Guide, which makes everything pleasant and interesting. Nice also the order in which you visit the various sites The tour takes place on foot in a limited area, effortlessly, with stops on other monuments and interesting curiosities

Underground tour under Caglari - First tunnel under the school really top and exciting told! Second stop under the SanMiguel church much cooler and more pleasant in the high outside temperatures - you learn a lot about the history of the city. Third stop a little boring, but still more than successful tour! The organizer reports fluently on all backgrounds in both English and Italian and is also open to questions at any time.

Right. - The guides are friendly, the tour is done on foot and sometimes it is difficult to get used to the light (attention to people with visual impairments), but finally the tour is friendly.
