Under a low Sardinian light the streets of Stampace and Marina funnel toward the sea, and below them the city keeps quieter stories. The Underground Cagliari tour moves from a 120‑meter red‑brick wartime shelter beneath a Salesian school into the hush of the crypt of Saint Restituta, then to the multilayered underground ruins at Saint Eulalia where a paved Roman road still hints at old traffic.

Cagliari’s underground layers reflect its role as a Punic and Roman port later reshaped under medieval rulers; in the 20th century many civic tunnels were adapted as WWII air-raid shelters.
Conservation
Underground ruins are fragile—stay behind barriers, avoid touching frescoes or exposed masonry, and follow guides to reduce wear on ancient fabric.
