Cagliari Turismo, the tourist portal of the City of Cagliari
The Stampace district was built in the thirteenth century, at the foot of the imposing castle walls. In the past it housed numerous workshops of artists and craftsmen. Today its streets are crossed by numerous tourists, enchanted by monumental churches such as the Collegiate Church of Sant'Anna and the church of San Michele which stand out along Azuni Street.
