The University of Cagliari began its activity in 1626.

In the second half of the eighteenth century, Carlo Emanuele III of Savoy wanted to build a new headquarters of the University of Cagliari and he assigned this project to the military engineer Saverio Belgrano of Famolasco. The sovereign's project consisted of the construction of a vast cultural centre, with the erection of the university building, the “Tridentino” seminary and a theatre in the area over the Bastion of Balice. Of this original project, only the first two buildings were made and the building was inaugurated on 1st November 1769 to coincide with the start of the new academic year. Following the "Casati Law" in 1859 and "Gentile reform" in 1923, other faculties were born. The School of Pharmacy was transformed into an autonomous faculty, the establishment of the Faculty of Education was authorized, and just a year after, the activities of the Faculty of Mining Engineering began.

After World War II, the Faculty of Law was permanently placed in viale Sant'Ignazio along with the Faculty of Economics and Political Science. The same years also dates the construction of the building of the Medical Clinic in the Pit of San Guglielmo and the pavilions of Engineering Faculty in Piazza d'Armi.

Later, the construction of the seats of the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Education and the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy began. These structures are all situated in a wide area known by the name of "Sa Duchessa" where also the first Student House, the Psychology Faculty and the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature (now situated in via San Giorgio) were built. The last decades saw the construction of the Scientific Centre of the University of Cagliari in Monserrato.

In the atrium of the Rector's Building of the University of Cagliari, four bronze statues representing Philosophy, Law, Medicine, Science and Technology are placed.

The 23 anatomical models were moulded in19th century by the famous Florentine wax modeller Clemente Susini. The waxes hold the sculptor signature and are placed on catalogued wooden boards and completed with captions.

The collection consists of a series of authentic anatomical reproductions made by the sculptor Clemente Susini, between 1803 and 1805, at the museum's laboratory of the Florence Observatory. The waxes were brought in Cagliari in 1805 and they were purchased by the Viceroy Carlo Felice, in order to expose them at the Antiquity and Natural History Museum. The collection was brought in 1923, at the Anatomical Institute, and in 1991 they arrived at the Pentagon Hall of Cittadella dei Musei, their present location. These waxes, have been performed in dissections by Professor Francesco Boi. They offer a detailed representation of the human body and an interesting documentation of the medical knowledge of that time. These waxes bear the sculptor signature and are placed on wooden planks. During the transfer into their present location, they were all cataloged and captioned.

The Villanova district, at east from Castello, was once inhabited by farmers, who worked on the vast fields and vineyards that surrounded the area. Even today the houses in the neighbourhood are generally humbler and with a lower development in height compared to the buildings of the other historic districts. During the Holy Week the streets of the district come alive with Cagliari and tourists who attend the various processions, organized by the archconfraternities of Solitude and the Most Holy Crucifix, which have their oratories in Villanova. From the expansion of Villanova, the modern districts of the east of Cagliari were formed.

The district takes its name from the two hills of Tuvixeddu and Tuvumannu, over which it extends, and on which there are also important archaeological testimonies, in particular the Punic necropolis. Tuvixeddu / Tuvumannu borders to the east with Stampace, to the north with Is Mirrionis, to the west with San Michele and to the south with Sant'Avendrace.
