Bastione di Saint Remy is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Cagliari, Sardinia. Located in the
historic Castello District, this grand terrace offers spectacular panoramic views of the city, the Gulf of
Cagliari, and the distant hills. Built in the late 19th century, the bastion connects the upper and lower
parts of the old town through elegant marble stairways and arches.
Today, Bastione di Saint Remy is not only a historical monument but also a popular gathering spot for
locals and travelers. It’s the perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy Cagliari’s vibrant sunsets.
