Cagliari–Casteddu lies along the Gulf of Cagliari, where Sardinia’s southern coast meets low wetlands, salt pans and the limestone heights above the harbour. The old Castello quarter occupies a fortified hill in the city centre, with bastions and narrow streets that recall Cagliari’s long role as a Mediterranean port. Below it, the Roman amphitheatre was cut into the rock during the imperial period. East of the centre, Poetto forms the city’s principal beach, while the Molentargius salt ponds are known for their flamingos.
