Torre dell'Elefante: A 14th-Century Marvel

Torre dell'Elefante stands as a testament to Cagliari's rich history.

Built in 1307 by the Pisans as a defense against the Aragonese, this structure is one of the last two Pisan towers still intact. Its features include a notable elephant sculpture and panoramic city views from its 42m height. The tower served a grim purpose as it later became a site for displaying heads of executed prisoners during Spanish rule.
