Cagliari, Capital city in Sardinia, Italy.
The city extends across multiple limestone hills, including the fortified Castello district overlooking the Mediterranean Sea from southeastern Sardinia point.
The settlement dates back to Neolithic times and became a major Carthaginian stronghold before Romans captured it during the Second Punic War.
The annual Feast of Sant'Efisio features a grand procession through the streets where participants display traditional Sardinian costumes and customs.
The San Benedetto Market, the largest covered food market in Italy, offers fresh local products from fish to vegetables in the central district.
The Tuvixeddu Necropolis contains thousands of Punic and Roman tombs carved into the limestone hill, making it the largest necropolis of its kind.
