Discover Cagliari

Informazioni

Hello there!
Are you ready to discover Cagliari?
With this playlist you will be able to walk around the city and discover the beauty of it while taking fun pictures, completing little challenges or talking with the locals. The more you go out of your comfort zone, the more you’ll discover the amazing secrets that the city has to offer.
﻿
Some rules and suggestions:
If you're in a multicultural group, try to only speak English, as much as possible, even if you’re accompanied by an Italian teammate. We encourage you to take turns in talking with the locals, too. But if you're in Cagliari as a volunteer or anyway trying to learn Italian, do try to speak as much Italian as possible, instead!
People will usually be open to tourists and foreigners, but not many know English well. If you find a local who can’t speak English too well, try looking for another one: younger people will usually be more comfortable with the language, and anyone who works with tourists a lot will be able to communicate. But if you're learning Italian, this is a great opportunity to practice the language!
Some landmarks may require you to pay a ticket to enter. You’re not required to get inside unless you wish to, pictures from outside will be more than enough!
Being able to orient oneself and read a map is a crucial part of these activities. A little guidance from any local members of the team or friends is acceptable, but try to find your own way. Sometimes getting a little lost leads to the best experiences!
You’ll need constant internet access, in order to complete this playlist. Sometimes you’ll be asked to use some digital online tools, and Google Maps will be your friend throughout the tour. If you don’t have internet access through your phone’s mobile data, turn on your wi-fi and look for “Free Wi-Fi Ca” network. Much of the city centre is covered by this open wi-fi network that allows you to navigate for 3 consecutive hours for free by just accepting their terms and conditions.

Amphitheatres, archives, auditoriums, libraries, cinemas, galleries, museums, picture galleries, theatres, observatories, planetariums, archaeological parks... if you’re looking for a little bit of culture in Cagliari, you're spoiled for choice! Are you ready to discover some of them?
Ajò! (i.e. “Let’s go!” in Sardinian)
﻿
Roaming around the historical district of Castello, with its tall fortifications and characteristic watchtowers (the Elephant Tower and St. Pancrace), you’ll find an abundance of museums and cultural landmarks.
Did you know that the ancient University Library features a whole room dating back to the 18th Century that’s kept intact with all its ancient fixtures? And if dusty old books are not your thing but you feel like learning a bit more about the local history, the Citadel of Museums is the place for you!
Of course, if you’re interested in something a little more modern, why not take a look at our MEM library, or have a little fun spotting architect Renzo Piano’s building in the city?
EXMA and the old Ghetto could be what you’re looking for if you’re interested in exhibitions, cultural events and festivals, and of course, you’ll have to take a look at the Roman Amphitheater, carved right into one of the seven hills in town.
﻿
For this activity, you can start from Piazza Yenne and choose your direction based on your interests: you can have a look around the historical neighbourhood of Stampace if you’re more into modern buildings and Art Nouveau, you could go up to Castello and Buoncammino if you like archaeology and ancient history, or you can have a look around Villanova and down towards Bonaria if you’d rather find some modern museums, or even the old monumental cemetery.
If you're tackling this activity right after activity 4 in the playlist, you'll already be right above the Amphitheater and you can stroll down from there. A map showing some interesting landmarks is available in the resources section and in the map below.
We recommend the use of Google Maps for finding your way.

You’ll have to complete at least 2 of the 4 listed tasks in order to claim your badge.

Devi completare 2 attività per ottenere questo badge

Attività

Task n.1

Prova verificata da: un organizzatore dell'attività

Take a selfie with the Statue of Carlo Felice, or better yet, ask somebody else to take a picture of you with the statue while you imitate its characteristic pose.
﻿
Fun fact: when the local soccer team wins any big match, the fans like to dress the statue with the team’s official shirt and decorate it with its colours, red and blue.

Task n.2

Prova verificata da: un organizzatore dell'attività

If you like learning about ancient history, we’ve got the challenge for you!
Visit a museum, library or other place of culture and try to find out which is the oldest piece in its collection.
If you’re visiting a modern or contemporary museum, look for the most recent instead!
Write the answer down as evidence or upload a picture as evidence.
﻿
Attention please! Many museums don’t allow you to take photos inside, ask for permission first.

Task n.3

Prova verificata da: un organizzatore dell'attività

Find a public building (e.g. the City Hall or the State Archive) and take a picture of its flags: do you know what they all represent? Can you spot the Sardinian flag and do you know what its name is (in Italian)?
Try and write down your answer and upload it as evidence along with the picture.

Task n.4

Prova verificata da: un organizzatore dell'attività

Sardinian is an ancient and beautiful language, enriched by an enormous number of local dialects. Can you learn any saying in the local language?
Ask a local to teach you their favourite proverb or saying in their dialect, then take a short video of you saying it together and upload it as evidence.
﻿
Attention please! Be mindful and ask for permission first, don’t film anyone who doesn’t wish to be filmed.
