Opened in 2004, the Cathedral Museum is located near St. Mary's. It houses a part of the Cathedral  treasury , which includes  some bequests left by the archibishops  of  the Church of Cagliari,  donations and numerous silver liturgical objects such as chalices , ciborium , monstrance , processional crosses , crucifixes , as well as wooden statues and paintings. Among the most important  there are  "The Altarpiece of Beneficed" , a double triptych alterpiece of Catalan type , made around 1527 in Stampace, in the workshop of Pietro  Cavaro , "The grief over the Dead Christ", a group of seven statues, date back to the second half of the fifteenth or early sixteenth century and   "The Triptych of Clement VII" , attributed to the fifteenth-century Flemish painter Rogier van der Weyden , which  is linked to unique historical events .  It was stolen , like many other works of art and relics , during the Sack of Rome in 1527 , then it was  abandoned after a storm, by  the Landsknechte on the run  from Gaeta. Finally, it was found in Cagliari and returned to its owner , Giulio de ' Medici, known as Pope Clement VII . In 1531 , as a sign of gratitude , the Pope gave to the  Archbishop of Cagliari  the triptych and  the Holy Thorn , that was stolen too , with the obligation to expose them every year in the Cathedral during  the  celebration for the Assumption of Mary. The painting consists of three panels: in the middle is represented the Pieta , with  the Virgin of Sorrows on the left and  Christ crowned with thorns on the right. On  the left side panel is portraied the Madonna with Child and  St Anne , while on the right  St. Margaret and the Dragon.

The museum is housed in the Convent of the Capuchin Friars Minor of Sardinia, which for thirty-four years hosted Fra Nicola from Gesturi.

The friar, who lived from 1882 to 1958 and declared blessed in 1999 by Pope John Paul II, is still alive in the hearts of the many faithful, especially from Cagliari, who remember his goodness and thaumaturgical abilities.

The exhibition is set up in a wing of the convent, next to the cloister, which was formerly the burial place of the friars. The rooms, with vaulted ceilings, preserve personal objects and photos that portray the friar in different moments of life, as well as the various stages of the beatification process.

There are the tombstone in the Bonaria cemetery and the remains of the coffin before the body was moved to the church of Saint Ignazio. Remarkable images of June 10, 1958, when an immense crowd attended the funeral.

On show the friar's worn-out clothes, cloak, glasses and all the poor personal items. There is no shortage of folders with the testimonies given by people during the beatification process.

In the museum there are also several bronze sculptures, always dedicated to the friar of Gesturi for whom the cause of canonization has been initiated.

The exhibition also includes the ex-votos and the precious treasures of Saint Ignazio from Laconi (1701-81), as well as the coffin of Fra Nicola from San Vero Milis, who died in the smell of holiness (1631-1707).

The Siamese Art Museum presents a wide variety of artistic pieces from different Asian cultures. However, it isn't identified as a " Museum of Oriental Art, " but as " Siamese Art Museum " to highlight that mainly it houses objects from Siam, and it is exactly this feature that makes the collection so unique and peculiar.

The history of the museum begins in July 1914 , when the collector Stefano Cardu, who lived for a long time in Siam, sent a letter to the Mayor Ottone Baccaredda, in which he offered part of his collection, as a gift to Cagliari.

Next to art pieces of religious subject, the museum exhibits also objects of domestic use, worked in a precious way, which represent an interesting overview about the level of handscraft production in those places. Statuettes and other ivory objects, mainly date back to the 17th century , worked with an amazing skill are produced in Japan, as well as the "tsuba" (iron washers that were used to protect the hand wielding the sword), artifacts that reveal a rare art ability. Among the most notable porcerlaines, we find the Chinese one of the Ming period and the early Quing emperors (from 14th to the 17th century).

A very rare part of the collection consists of the numismatic coins from the 11th to the last century.

A museum's section is also dedicated to arms: a collection of great interest especially for the presence of Siamese weapons, yet little known, which constitute the biggest and significant group.

A combination of art and science, well known in the past centuries, which  had as illustrious character C. Susini and L. Inkwells , best known for the anatomical waxes and that, after E.Tortori's death(1893) , fell into disuse and was almost forgotten.

The history of the National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari started in 1800, when Ludovico Baylle proposed the creation of a museum in order to collect the archaeological collections, to preserve the island Natural History samples and to make it accessible to the public, since 1802.

Since then, several members in the Reign of Sardinia cultural scene were involved in the museum directions, as De Prunner, Spano, Cara, Gennari or Vivanet at the end of XIX century.

Thanks to a large number of donations, private collections purchases, archaelogical finds from different excavation campaigns or objects accidentally recovered, during XIX century the museum was moved to more and more appropriate venues. At the beginning of the XX century, it was moved to the former National Mint and Armory building in piazza Indipendenza, in Castello district, suited by the architect Spano for this new purpose.

The new museum exhibition was organized in different halls according to different themes: prehistoric Sardinia, punic Sardinia, roman Sardinia.

Due to the several archaelogical campaigns after the WWII, since fifties the need of a bigger venue emerged. Because of this necessity, the Citadel of Museums was settled down to accomodate all museum collections and more.

The new National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari has four floors: the first is devoted to an educational presentation of ancient cultures succession in Sardinia, starting from the Neolithic period.

Therafter, we find the nuragic civilization, which is represented by countless artifacts among which it is possible to admire the bronzes collection, that collects samples from all over the island.

Then we have the Phoenician, Punic and Roman civilizations, extremely important for Sardinian history; between the most representative findings there are traditional pottery and fine craftsmanship objects. The ground floor ends with a collection of Punic and Roman coins and a didactic showcase for blinds.

The other three floors are dedicated to the illustration of different territorial areas, with the exposition of the material found in different locations according to topographical criteria, with showcases dedicated to specific archaeological sites. Among them there are very important areas dedicated to Su Nuraxi Barumini, the Sanctuary of Antas and to the Phoenician cities of Sulci and Monte Sirai.

The National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari joins the project "Sunday at the Museum ": the first sunday on every month the entry is free.

The Municipality of Pirri is located north of the city center of Cagliari and more precisely north-east of the Saint Michele hill. The historic town occupies a hollow that from the Monte Claro park in the south-west reaches the riu Saliu in the north-east.

The area is mainly urbanized for almost all of its extension. In the Terramaini district, an homonymous green park was created, as a result of an urban redevelopment, covering an area of ​​eight hectares and adjacent to the Terramaini canal, with a mirror of stagnant water inside the basin of the nearby Molentargius pond.

On the four sides are reported dates and places of the main wars of the Risorgimento, and also the names of the Sardinian soldiers , who sacrificed their lives for the unification of the country. 

In the front, it is possible to see the italian flag and the portrait of Vittorio Emanuele II, first king in the unified Italy, who reigned from 1861 to 1878.

In Darsena Square, adjacent to the Dogan pier, a monument was erected in honour of the fallen of the sea represented by an imposing anchor. The Navy Day takes place throughout Italy in June and on this occasion a laurel wreath is also placed in Cagliari at the foot of the monument. On this date is as well celebrated the venture of Premuda, when, in June 1918, two armed motorboats, led by corvette captain Luigi Rizzo and ensign Giuseppe Aonzo, sank the Austro-Hungarian enemy fleet, contributing to the success of the First World War.
