About
The Bastione di Saint Remy is a monumental fortification in Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, Italy. It was built at the end of the 19th century and is also known as the Bastion of Saint Remy. Today it is one of the city's best-known landmarks, and a visit is mainly about the setting: the stone structure itself and the views it opens over Cagliari and its harbor.
What to expect
The bastion stands on Piazza Costituzione, in the historic part of the city, so it is easy to combine with a walk through the surrounding streets. Its position above the city gives visitors a panoramic outlook over the rooftops and the water, which is the main reason people climb up to it.
- Panoramic views over Cagliari and its harbor
- A monumental 19th-century fortification to explore
- An easy stop for photographs, especially in good weather
Planning your visit
The bastion works well as a short outing rather than a full day. Allow time to walk around the structure and enjoy the outlook, then continue on foot into the nearby historic quarter. If you want to confirm details before you go, the bastion can be reached by telephone at +39 070 6776404.
Because the monument sits in the middle of the city, it suits anyone already exploring Cagliari, whether you are interested in its fortifications, its views, or simply a memorable place to see the harbor from above.
