Villa Muscas, Center of Peasant Culture, houses a rich museum and rooms used for meetings and conferences. It was built several times in different periods with dissimilar construction techniques, on a system of manifest monastic imprint.

The structure preserves objects and machinery related to the Sardinian rural world, and takes care of its dissemination through events that involve people in a process of knowledge of the problems related to agricultural production.

The museum itinerary is developed in three levels: courtyard, cloister, rooms on the first floor. Villa Muscas played an important military role during the Second World War, as a shelter for the wounded and as a warehouse for gas masks, ammunition and uniforms, and as a guesthouse. Between 1941 and 1945 the school and its didactic and administrative infrastructure were moved to Nurri and the military genius moved to the empty spaces.

Currently an important bas-relief by Tilocca recalls the students who fell in the war. Along this side of the structure you can still see the bullet holes that survived the renovation of the facade of the splitting carried out in 1943.

The cavity is located in Via Vittorio Veneto on the opposite side of number 40. It was realized to extract building material and has an irregular shape with a perimeter of about 150 meters and an internal development of approximately 600 square meters.

During the excavation of the rock were spared inside the cavity, five squat pillars square base in order to make them stronger and at the same time avoid collapse. Once the excavation stopped probably,  the cavity was used as a water tank. That use, in the opinion of Canon Giovanni Spano, would begin in the Carthaginian era and continued into the Roman period.

In 1943, during World War II, the cavity was reused as a bomb shelter and was also made ​​a rudimentary electrical system inside. After the war, the cavity gave for some time precarious shelter to those displaced persons who, on their return to Cagliari, founded their homes destroyed by the bombing.
On the last decades Via Vittorio Veneto was renovated and several dilapidated houses against the outer wall of the cavity were teared down.

Built in the 13th century in the Pisan-Romanesque style, it later underwent trasformations in the Gothic, Baroque and Neo-Romanesque style.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria was built in the XIII century in Roman style by the Pisans. It became the Cathedral after conquering and the subsequent abandonment of the previous seat of the bishop’s palace Santa Igia, capital of the Giudicato of Cagliari.

The only original parts still visible are the bell tower, the decorated architrave on top of the central gate and the transept arms of the lateral gates that belong though to the XIV century. The remainder of the building is fruit of various restoration works that have gone on through time.  

The restoration that went on between 1699 and 1709 by architect Pietro Fossati entirely rebuilt the façade in Baroque style, in accordance with that era’s taste. Another restoration at the beginning of the 1900’s tore the Baroque façade down, hoping to find the original Roman façade that was thought to be found underneath: not having found the original Pisan façade, the church remained for many years without and only in 1933 was completely rebuilt by taking example from Santa Maria dei Miracoli in Pisa.

The original bell tower resembles the defensive towers of the quarter and dashes up on the left side of the façade, decorated with suspended archers. Built in the 13th century, it is 36 metres high, about 130 metres above sea level. To get to the top, you have to climb 137 steps through its wooden structure. It's great exercise, isn't it? Once there you can admire stunning views of the city and its four great bronze bells, still used to mark the hours and call worshippers to the Mass.

In the XIV century the transept was added, only the two lateral gates were left, this shows the passing from roman to gothic style: the northern facing gates still holds its roman style, the other is gothic. They are both very beautiful, and are decorated with carvings in the white stone. It is possible to visit the inside of the Cathedral

The church plan has a cruciform shape (cross shaped); it is divided into three naves, with lateral chapels, transept and raised presbytery. The chapels are dedicated to different saints and are more or less in baroque style. The oldest chapels are found at the sides of the altar and differentiate themselves from the others by the simplicity of the white stone from which it was made, the moderate neo-Gothic style and the characteristic double lancet window that lights up the area. The two chapels were hidden by restoration work that went on during 1664 and 1674 and were brought back to light during more restoration in the 1900’s. The chapel on the right side of the altar is in Gothic-Aragonese style and once a year, on 15 August, hosts one of the thorns of Jesus’ crown donated by Pope Clement VII: today it is decorated by beautiful silver art from the 1500’s like a candelabra and an tabernacle in the form of a temple. Here the archbishop Ernesto Maria Piovella is buried. 

The chapel on the left of the altar is dedicated to the “Sacred Heart of Jesus” and dates back to the Pisan era.

Next to it you can admire the Mausoleum of Martino il Giovane, Aragonese conquistador of Sardinia. The monument is made from intarsia marble that characterizes the whole church, in red, white and black. 

The altar is found on an elevated quadrangular presbytery with a crypt underneath. At the feet of the presbytery one can notice four lions clinching different pray in their mouths (a bear, a human, a dragon and a bull): they were initially part of what is considered to be the feather in the cap of the Cathedral, in other words the pulpit of Mastro Guglielmo. 

Today the pulpit is divided into two parts and is found on the sides of the entrance gate: it was built for the Dome of Pisa in 1160 and then given to Cagliari in 1312 when the Aragonese were already at the gates. This gift, a masterpiece of medieval art, wanted to strengthen the ties between Pisa and the Castle of Cagliari and therefore expresses the importance that this city had for the Tuscany city as a strategic point of commerce. 

It is entirely decorated with scenes taken from the Bible, but the characters are wearing medieval clothing: the represented scenes appear very aggressive due to the technique of sculpting in protruding and perforating of the eyes of the characters.

At the opposite sides of the presbytery, two doors allow you to enter the crypt. It was built by Monsignor Desquivel in 1618 to contain the remains of the martyrs found in the necropolis of San Lucifero and San Saturnino in Cagliari.

In 1327, after the Catalan conquest of Cagliari, the castle was offered to Berengar Carroz. After the fall of the “Giudicato” of Arborea, its defensive role became secondary. It was with the Count Giacomo Carroz that the castle became one of the most luxurious residences in Sardinia. The last member of the Carroz family, who lived in the castle, was the unfortunate Countess Violante, who died in 1511. After her death the castle was then included among the goods of the Spanish Crown.

In 1652 it was used as a hospital during the black plague. During the XVIII century, with the Austrians first and then with the Savoy, the castle suffered a new period of decadence. From 1820 to 1848 it became a disabled barracks; in 1895 it was bought by a private owner, Roberto di San Tommaso, who committed its restoration to the architect Dionigi Scano and planted the still existing pine forest.

In 1930s the hill and the castle became a military domain, while in 1966 the excavation works of the castle began by the architect Renato Salinas. The marbles and friezes from the Basilica of San Saturno of Cagliari, discovered during the excavations, were reused by Carroz to restore the masonry. In 1990, there were new restoration works and the reorganization of the hill.

Today the castle offers a space for exhibitions, lectures and other cultural events.
