The museums and the Botanical Gardens of Cagliari (pronounced kal-ya-ree) are closed today so it was a great time to explore the city. We started our walk at harbor and went uphill toward the The Castello. The streets are twisty and narrow and the alleyways interesting to explore.
By accident we found the Bastione di Saint Remy, a neoclassical structure, with an impressive stairway and panoramic terrace. It was built into the city’s medieval walls between 1899 and 1902. From the terrace, the views over Cagliari’s rooftops to the sea and distant mountains is worth the climb to to the top.
So we’re in exploration mode – finding interesting sights around every corner. Dinner is late here beginning around 8:00-8:30. Larry is researching the trattorias to find one open on a Monday evening and we’ll be on our way to dinner soon!
