At the beginning of the 20th century, the seashore of Giorgino was the beach of Cagliari par excellence.

The construction of the first beach resorts  in town, first in the village of Sa Perdixedda (La Playa) and then in  Poetto Beach, gradually moved the attention of the inhabitants towards the latter, which grew rapidly in terms of transport services (the "new" beach, then renamed "the  beach of hundred thousand people", was in fact more distant than that of Giorgino).

Poetto became the favourite beach of Cagliari inhabitants, while Giorgino had deep morphological changes: the industrial harbour (commonly known as the canal) in fact isolated Giorgino, that, however, keeps important points of interest such as the church of Sant'Efisio, the first stage of the procession of May 1st , and the Fishermen Village, the seat of the annual Fish Festival.

Located between Capo Sant'Elia and Poetto Beach, Calamosca is a little sandy beach surrounded by amazing cliffs, which increase its charm. Well sheltered from the mistral, Calamosca is an ideal place for snorkeling and diving. During summer season it is possible to find a kiosk and a renting point for sea equipment. There are also two nightclubs nearby, open only in summer only, and a 3 stars hotel with a restaurant, open all year round.

“Cala Fighera” beach is located along the “Calamosca” cliff, in the direction of the “Devil’s Saddle” promontory, through numerous small inlets with a rocky and non-rocky character. The path on the promontory that leads to “Cala Fighera” beach also allows you to explore the whole “Devil’s Saddle” and the fortifications placed on its top.

The sea that bathes the beach of “Cala Fighera” has remarkable polychromes that vary from turquoise to emerald green, and, in the initial stretch, the seabed is low and pebbly.

Poetto Beach faces the Gulf of the Angels, on the southern coast of the island.

Even though the white sand dunes and the multi coloured casotti ( wooden constructions near the sea) belong to the past, the sandy shore preserves an incredible charm, enriched by the Promontory of the Devil's Saddle which dominates the port of Marina Piccola. These elements, together with the closeness to the city and the entertainment offered by  traditional baretti (wooden kiosks where it is possible to eat and drink something), make Poetto the favourite place for the inhabitants of Cagliari during summer season and also in any other sunny day in the rest of the year. The beachfront area offers also different kinds of services, as bed&breakfast, guesthouses, beach resorts, diving centres and surf schools.

Used for a long time by the Archaeological Superintendence as a deposit of materials from the excavations, the complex of San Pancrazio had already been destined to exhibitions in a project by Raffaello Delogu in the 1930’s.

At the end of the 15th century, due to the Turkish incursions, the Viceroy Juan Dusay decided to strengthen the system of fortifications of Cagliari.

A second wall and a moat were built close to the medieval tower of San Pancrazio to defend the northern side of the fortifications. Soon this system became obsolete due to the introduction of firearms and was later modified by military engineers.

In the 19th century, it served as a hospital for the condemned detained in the tower and later as a deposit of excavation materials by the Archaeological Superintendence.

Subsequently, the historical relevance of the complex gave it new functions as an exhibition area.

To preserve its homogeneity, a steel structure with wooden platforms has been designed to let the visitors see the original elements of the ancient structures.

The building of the Società degli operai del Mutuo Soccorso (Workers' Mutual Aid Society) was founded in 1855: its first temporary headquarters were located in the district of Castello, in the council chamber of the old Town Hall.

The engineer Riccardo Simonetti made the project and was also responsible for the construction works. The Art Nouveau building built in 1912 consists of a ground floor and a first floor, where the offices and the Meeting room take place. The refinement of the Liberty style is clearly visible in the front door and in the staircase railings leading upstairs.

Over the years the building has undergone several restoration works following the damage caused by the Second World War. Of particular importance are the documents preserved in the glass cases, that recall the 147 years of history of the Foundation: historical documents about the founders and the events that marked the war.
