...I'm trying to see Cagliari (for you: Cá-lee-a-ree, stress on the first syllable), the capital of Sardinia, with the eyes of a tourist, not an easy task for me considering the fact that it has been the place where to visit in-laws for yonks.
If you happen to be on the island in July or August, don't even think of visiting Cagliari unless the weather forecast promises a chilly spell (which is not very likely) or you're a mad dog or likewise Englishman. ... ...so that you can reach Cagliari still in the morning. I'd advise you to drive straight up to the old part of the city called Castello (Castle) from where you have a fine view of the gulf, the city and the harbour. Looking at the favourable geographical position between the sea and a fertile plain and a mountain range not too far away (to which people could evacuate if attacked from the sea) it's understandable that the site has been inhabited since ...
