Parco di Monte Claro

Parco di Monte Claro is an urban park on the slopes of Monte Claro hill in Cagliari, featuring Mediterranean vegetation, a lake, playgrounds, and sports facilities. The space spans a large area with different sections offering various activities and recreational options.

The area contains archaeological remains from the pre-nuragic period of the 3rd millennium BC, followed by a Cistercian monastery during the medieval era. These layers of the past show how the hill was occupied and used over a long span of time.

The Metropolitan Library Emilio Lussu sits in the former Villa Clara at the hilltop, offering educational resources and cultural events for the community. This space draws people who want to gather, read, and join local cultural activities.

The park is easily accessible from the main entrances on Via Cadello and Via Liguria, providing good access to different areas. It is helpful to arrive earlier in the day when the paths are less crowded and you can explore the sites more calmly.

A designated area is divided into two sections for small and large dogs, where pets can roam without leashes under owner supervision. This makes the place popular with dog owners who want to give their animals exercise space.
