Storia e Coltura
It was conquered by Tiberio Gracco consul in 238 BC. and during the Roman era enjoyed a long period of prosperity, which was accompanied by great urban development. It was declared a municipium and later the Bishop's See. Magnificent testimony to the Roman period still remain today, among which the Roman Amphitheatre, the Grotta della Vipera and the Villa di Tigellio.
During Pisan domination (1258) the city experienced a further period of a growth and testimony to this can be seen in the fortified Citadel, the Castrum Karalis with its defence walls and towers, and the development of the new quarters of Marina, Stampace and Villanova. The Castle (Castrum Karalis) was the centre of town life, as well as being the seat of power. This quarter, surrounded by ramparts and closed by the two towers of San Pancrazio and l'Elefante, is characterised by a series of streets which lead towards two gateways: Porta Cristina and Porte Dei Due Leoni.
When Sardinia passed under Spanish dominion, the city experienced a period of decline which continued with the arrival of the Savoy Family in 1720, whose dominion lasted up until the Unification of Italy.
During World War II the city suffered severe aerial bombing by the Allies and numerous buildings and churches were destroyed. Since 1949 Sardinia has been an Autonomous Region with Special Statute, with Cagliari as its capital.
Chiese e Musei
East of the center of Caliari, in Piazza San Cosimo, is the church of San Saturno, also called Santi Cosma e Damiano. It is the oldest sanctuary in Sardinia and is one of the best examples of early Christian art in the whole Mediterranean.It gets its name from the local martyr Saturno, condemned to death in 304 under the Roman Emperor Diocleziano. The building consists of a large central structure on which the hemispherical dome of the cupola rests, dating back to the 5th century.
