Parks and Gardens
Cagliari’s green spaces range from ancient archaeological sites to expansive wetlands. The city is home to the Tuvixeddu necropolis, the largest Punic burial site in the Mediterranean, and the Molentargius Regional Park, a primary nesting site for pink flamingos. Historic urban gardens like the 19th-century Giardini Pubblici and the former monastic grounds of the Orto dei Cappuccini offer botanical variety, while the Giardino sotto le Mura provides a contemporary landscape beneath the city’s medieval fortifications.
