With a walk between the historic districts of Stampace and Marina, we will see the Tunnel–Shelter of the Salesian School, a 120 mt long private tunnel used during World War II as a shelter for the school's students from the bombings. Today, the tunnel almost looks like a mystic place with its red-bricked arcades, enlightened by soft candlelight.
We will continue the tour to explore the magnificent crypt of Saint Restituta, with its fascinating stories, and we will finish with a visit to the Archeological Area of Saint Eulalia to discover its amazing underground ruins.
The tour involves a short walk from site to site outside.
Accordingly to the opening times of the sites, there might be alternative underground sites to visit.
The tour is always done in dual languages with a guide who speaks English and Italian.

5.00A tour where you get incredible knowledge about Sardinia and the interesting history. A story about the island through several millennia and a trip through the streets that you would not be without. Guid Frederico knew many details and I got new knowledge to bring home. 3 underground locations in the middle of Cagliari which is worth a visit.
