Palazzo Regio
Palazzo Viceregio
The Viceroy's Palace beside the cathedral in the Castello district. It was once the residence of Spanish viceroys and the Savoy kings, and its council hall has elaborate murals.
The Royal Palace was begun in the 14th century and served as the residence of Spanish and Savoy viceroys. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Savoy royal family took refuge here. It now houses the metropolitan government of Cagliari, and parts of the building are open to visitors, including the 19th-century decorated council hall, the ceiling murals and portraits of past viceroys. Admission costs a few euros. It is often visited together with the Cathedral, and opening times should be checked on the official website.
