This tour is recommended to those who wish to visit an area of outstanding beauty and one of the most important places of worship in town. Visit Bonaria's sanctuary, the museum and the monumental cemetery, then relax and enjoy breathtaking views.

The Bonaria hill is one of the most fascinating places in Cagliari. Although deeply changed in from the past and completely integrated into the Cagliari's urban layout, it still retains its special charm and its breathtaking views of the sea and the Castle.

Settlement area since ancient times, in its caves it offered shelter to princes and outlaws. At his foot, the monumental cemetery and the ancient necropolis preserve the memory of Cagliari's past.

The hill is the home of the Virgin of Bonaria, patron saint of Sardinia, as well as the most revered guest of the Cagliari population since the fourteenth century, when, according to legend, its simulacrum landed on the waterfront in front of today's monumental staircase, after miraculously escaping a frightening marine storm.
