Roman Amphitheatre of Cagliari

This place has so much potential but unfortunately it is not well used. The entrance ticket is 3 EUR but it is worth the money because you get as close as possible to the amphitheater. Overall, I sincerely hope that the authorities will implement something to make the place accessible to the general public because it can become very popular with a little bit of investment preserving it

Sadly we didn't have time to go in a look at the exhibition and site. As we were just driving through. But the antiquity of the place was splendid. We parked for free right by it. And there were views from the side. Go up hill and and across to get to the old town. Magnificent views

The place is in an ok shape but not wonderfully preserved. You can’t go in the ruins, only see them from the top or the bottom. That makes it not worth it to pay the entrance fee, just walk around it.

Pitty that the amphitheater was closed when I arrived, also from outside looked great. Entrance fee is 3€/person

I went to visit the amphitheatre within the stated opening time, arriving with 30 minutes to spare at 16.30. Unfortunately the staff, who were rude and uncompromising told me that there wasn’t much to see and also that they had closed the till and therefore I could not pay the €3 to walk down a 50 meter path to have a closer look at the ancient amphitheatre. This was despite me travelling there, arriving within the advertised time and for a typical entrance, according to them, lasting about 5 minutes. I would have left long before the closing time. The staff seemed more keen to finish work early than to accommodate visitors to this historic site of Cagliari.

Unfortunately, people are not allowed to get close or enter the underground areas until further notice as they have been deemed unsafe. But you still must pay for tickets to walk a few feet down a narrow walkway by the ticket booth near the entrance. We were allowed stand by the booth to look and take pictures without purchasing.

Very disappointed that such an amazing piece of history isn’t given more attention. The site was undergoing “renovations” when we arrived and this restricted access to the site, however there wasn’t much evidence of renovation, and there wasn’t any clearly defined access paths past where we had to stop, so I don’t know how they would protect the amphitheatre which last tourists visited. The €4 entry fee was very cheap, but you can see everything from outside the fence line, so don’t bother. There needs to be a serious injection of cash into this historical site to protect it and make it more attractive and accessible for tourists.

Ancient site that has fallen into disrepair. If you pay 3 Euros to get in, you can only walk about 80 meters and then you must turn around and retrace your steps.
