Gruppo Speleoarcheologico Cavità Cagliaritane

Twenty years of life and commitment have made this non-profit association, dedicated to urban speleology, a point of reference for enthusiasts and curious people of this discipline.

The Gruppo Speleologico Cavità Cagliaritane operates in the cavities of the Sardinian capital, an area already rich in natural cavities of karst origin, and with great richness also from the point of view of the cavities generated in history by human intervention as much extractive as well as cultural (ancient tombs) and established by necessity (water supply conduits).

Thus, from the passion and interest of this young group, important excursions within the city were born such as those inside the important Sant'Arennera mine and the Phoenician-Punic and, later, Roman necropolis which is located near the Tuvixeddu hill.

The commitment of the G.S. operations it is not only aimed at the study but also at the denunciation of the many and unfortunately real situations of abandonment in which many of the city's underground streets lie, a real loss from a historical and research point of view.

For this reason, one of the primary objectives of the undertaking is undoubtedly that of raising public awareness for the recovery and preservation of the exceptional archaeological value of these cavities.
