Cagliari has been inhabited for a very long time, and owes its features to a melting pot of traditions, architectural styles and habits, influenced in turn by the former Roman, Byzantine, Spanish and Piedmontese dominations. A blend of the old and the new, Cagliari is at the same time a historical cultural city and a leading centre of the Sardinian economy. In Cagliari, culture, folklore and cuisine are not cliches: they are a real part of everyday life.
