Cagliari <\/strong>is the most important city of Sardinia <\/strong><\/span>as well as the island\u2019s gateway port and main Mediterranean cruise liner hub. It is located at the heart of the beautiful Bay of the Angels (Golfo degli Angeli), <\/span>whose arms encircle it <\/span>and \u2013 according to a legend \u2013 protect its waters. I<\/span>t was built, like Rome, on seven hills, which identify the historic neighbourhoods of the city: Castello, Tuvu Mannu, Tuvixeddu, Monte Claro, Monte Urpinu, Bonaria, San Michele<\/em>. The city has its originary nucleus in Castello district<\/strong>, the highest point of the city overlooking the surrounding area. Indeed, the name of the city <\/span>in Sardinian dialect is <\/span>Casteddu<\/strong>, meaning Castle<\/strong> (Castello<\/strong>), just to indicate the upper part of the city, its ancient citadel.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Although most of the present town was built after the 12th<\/sup> century, Cagliari, as all the island, was first settled by Phoenicians, who called the town K\u00e0ralis<\/strong> or \u2018city of rock<\/strong>,\u2019 and then by the Carthaginians.\u00a0The Romans left their mark with a fine amphitheatre and villas, but it was not till the 12th<\/sup> century that Cagliari saw a settled period again, first under the Pisans, followed by the Aragonese, and eventually by the Dukes of Savoy – who styled themselves as Kings of Sardinia.
\nModern Cagliari reflects all of these influences.<\/span><\/div>\n
