Cagliari Botanical Garden Tour

Discover the Cagliari Botanical Garden Tour. The Botanical Garden and the Tuvixeddu’s Necropolis are the centrepiece for nature and archaeology lovers who wish to choose unusual tracks.

Cagliari Botanical Garden stretches over a five-hectars-area and is nestled in the city centre, among Villa di Tigellio, the Roman Amphitheatre and The Cappuccini’s Garden. It is divided into thematic areas such as the Desert’s Oasis, the Mediterranean Wood, the Friars’ Garden, with the medicinal plants, the Geofite Exhibition and the Biodiversity Rocks, where many rocky- ground-growing plants prosper.

Here you’ll find the great majority of the typical rare West-Mediterranean endemic species considered in danger of extinction.

This is a timeless atmosphere: you can rest under a shade-giving centenary ficus, far off from the city traffic or explore the Roman archaeological ruins, as the huge water tank and the well preserved wells.

From the Botanical Garden to Tuvixeddu, the biggest Mediterranean Punic necropolis, it’s a short step. We’ll show you an endless area which served as a cemetery by Punics and Romans. Deserted for centuries, Tuvixeddu enjoyed a new season of beauty during the 20’s, when rich families used to build their mansions around this green area while, in the 40’s, it acted as a shelter during the II World War bombings.

Tuvixeddu is a surprising archaeological settlement which offers continuous discoveries to the city of Cagliari.

Get out of the usual tracks! Join us and discover some of the most interesting archaeological treasures of the past immersed in the Mediterranean landscape. Book now the Cagliari Botanical Garden Tour.
