Piazza Yenne

Piazza Yenne is a rectangular square in the Stampace district featuring a prominent stone monument at its center. The surrounding buildings date to the 19th century and display refined architectural details that frame the space.

Originally called Piazza San Carlo, the square was renamed in 1822 to honor Marquis Ettore Veuillet d'Yenne who oversaw its construction. This change marked an important moment in Cagliari's urban development.

The central statue depicts King Carlo Felice in Roman attire, marking the beginning point of the main road connecting Cagliari to Sassari.

The square offers several bars, cafes, and ice cream shops with outdoor seating where visitors can stop and relax. It serves as a natural gathering point where people come together, especially in the evening hours.

The square marks the exact starting point of the SS131, the main highway that runs across the entire island of Sardinia from south to north. This major route begins precisely at this location, connecting Cagliari to the rest of the island.
