Metropolitan City of Cagliari, Administrative division in southern Sardinia, Italy.
The Metropolitan City of Cagliari is an administrative area in southern Sardinia that groups together several smaller towns and settlements. The territory spans coastal plains, hills, and low mountains, forming a unified region with its own local government structure.
The Metropolitan City was created in 2016, replacing the former provincial government structure. This reorganization maintained the historical ties between the main city and its surrounding settlements.
The region displays layers of past civilizations through structures and remains scattered across the landscape. Walking through different areas, you encounter Roman ruins and ancient settlements that shape how the places look and feel today.
The area has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot, dry summers, making late spring through early fall pleasant for exploring. Bringing water and sun protection is essential, especially when traveling between different towns and visiting the varied landscapes.
The territory is shaped by several mountain ridges, with the highest reaching over 1,000 meters and defining the landscape throughout. These elevations influence local weather patterns and create distinct environments ranging from coastal areas to inland regions.
