Overview

At the heart of an eternal struggle between powers, Cagliari wrote its story with blood. Marquis, viceroys and ecclesiastics have been victims and executioners of heinous crimes committed within the thick walls of the Castello district. Family feuds, settlement of accounts, exemplary punishments, torture and public executions, often thanks to the Court of the Holy Inquisition. What happened in the current Piazza Palazzo in 1545- And what unsolved mysteries linger around the figure of the Marquis of Cea- These are just some of the many questions still waiting to be answered.
