Very nice and colourful city area, with a lot of churches and traditions, especially during the Holy Week,

After walking through the Castello, we descended through the stairs of the Bastion of San Remi to the Villanova quarter. Although the name of the quarter indicates his youth, in reality this is not the case. It originated around the same time as the Castello. In the XIII century. It was just that it was not a quarter of the nobility, clergy and merchants, but of the peasants who settled closer to the castle. Therefore, if we had come to Cagliari in the XVIII-XVIII centuries, we would have seen houses with vegetable gardens here. The development of the quarter is mainly of the XX century. Here are the historical reasons and the bombing of American B-17s that destroyed many houses in 1943-44. Historically significant buildings are the Basilica of San Saturnino, the oldest church in Sardinia and the church of San Giacomo of the XV century. Actually, for the sake of San Saturnino, we ended up here and went further to the San Benedetto market.
