Through its activities, Orthodox Sardigna promotes the awareness and visibility of the Orthodox tradition, the presence of which in Cagliari is not only age-old but currently showing signs of renewed vitality, especially during periods of tourist arrivals.

Orthodox tradition

The Orthodox tradition has been rooted in the Mediterranean Sea for millennia, in Sardinian culture and tradition. The Orthodox tradition found fertile ground on the island, and has grown harmoniously alongside Sardinian traditions. The first saints to be venerated in Sardinia came from the Greek-Orthodox tradition, and have been worshipped for millenia on the island.

La Sardegna per la sua favorevole posizione geografica, è una perla di bellezza al centro del bacino Mediterraneo, esposta da millenni all'influenza di popoli che hanno visitato, sostato, attraversato e plasmato la diversità culturale, linguistica e religiosa del popolo sardo.

Ancora di approdo per i viaggiatori e per i popoli antichi fin dagli albori della civiltà, la Sardegna è un'isola ancora tutta da scoprire.

The many faces of Cagliari, capital of ancient culture in the Mediterranean Sea.

With a litte over 150.000 inhabitants, Cagliari is the capital and beating heart of Sardinia, and a multifaceted city. Well-known from the glorious past of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Cagliari today is an important international harbor.

Sardinia entered of the Byzantine sphere in the Roman era, but, both before and after, was forced to greet a number of invading empires and powers that all left their traces, archaeological and others, on the island. Cagliari is a capital of culture, history, and various arts, languages, and religious traditions that have been harbored through the ages, without ever erasing the local identity.

Cagliari has many faces, all of which we will pursue on our various itineraries, discovering the different sides to this incredible city.

The Byzantines built the foundations of the city, leaving perennial traces, as a concrete memory of their presence in Cagliari, this focus-point of remarkable Mediterranean cultures and history.
