The Pisans built defensive walls, towers, bastions and doors to keep the quarter safe.
The fortified quarter became the location of the civil, religious, aristocracy and
military powers until the beginning of 1900.
During World War II it was seriously damaged by the bombing on the city of Cagliari.
After that there were many years of abandonment.
Nowadays the quarter is lively and full of tourists and citizens strolling through its
streets and small squares.
