Cagliari Port Ferry Overview
Cagliari is the capital of the island of Sardinia, a region of Italy. Cagliari's Sardinian name Casteddu literally means the castle. From the 1870s, with the unification of Italy, the city experienced a century of rapid growth. Many outstanding buildings were erected by the end of the 18th century. Many of these buildings combined influences from Art Nouveau together with the traditional Sardinian taste for flower decoration, an example being the white marble City Hall near the port.
Cagliari is home to the football team Cagliari Calcio, winner of the Italian league championship in 1970, with the team led by one of the greatest Italian strikers of all times, Gigi Riva. Cagliari is an ideal location for water sports such as surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing and sailing due to strong and reliable favourable winds. Hiking is also popular.
Tourism is also one of the main economical intakes of the city and with a choice of ferry routes to the port, Cagliari plays a major part of the cities tourism industry with services from Civitavecchia, Trapani and Palermo, all operated by Tirrenia. |
