The port of Cagliari, located just 11 miles from the Gibraltar-Suez section, represents one of the main hubs for transhipment activities in the western Mediterranean. It is divided into three areas: the historic port, which is spread over 5,800 meters of quay and has a vocation for commercial traffic, Ro-Ro, passenger and cruise ships (with a dedicated terminal); the canal port, which stretches over 1,600 meters and offers five berths for transhipment and Ro-Ro traffic. In the same area, in Sarroch - Porto Foxi, there are the petrochemical - oil berths with moorings for seventeen ships, serving one of the most important national refineries.

The passenger terminal is located about 400 meters from the purely port area (sterile), in the area of via Roma. In the sterile area there is a BAR, a ticket office for commercial vehicles and toilets. For passengers, in the immediate vicinity of the port, there are the other ticket offices.

The nearest intermodal center is located in Piazza Matteotti, about three minutes away by feet, where there are: the ARST bus station, the railway station, the terminus and stops of several CTM city buses, a Shuttle Bus connects all ships arriving and departing with the port entrance.

Industrial port located in the area called "Giorgino", which serves as terminal container.

In 1553 the Spaniards renewed the defensive walls of the city and, among these structures, the Door of the two Lions was created, surmounted by the two heads of the animal that look on the outside of the walls, in Mazzini street.

It is the gateway from the south to the Castello district.

Porta Cristina is an access gate to the Castello district that connects Buoncammino Avenue to Arsenale Square.

It was built according to the model of the Porta Angelica in Rome, and is dedicated to Maria Cristina of Bourbon, wife of King Carlo Felice di Savoia.

In neoclassical style, according to a project by Count Carlo Pilo Boyl, approved by the king. Its lines present the open access arch between two pilasters that support an entablature delimited by two projecting cornices, within which it is placed a semi-circular lunette that has this dedicatory inscription:

“Karolus Felix Rex
viam planiorem brevioremque a Castro Caralis
ad portam arcis regiam aperuit
Maria Cristina Regina
Portae egressus in apertam viam nomen suum imposuit
MDCCCXXV
Januario Rotario regni praeside”
