Cagliari
(Sardinian:
Casteddu
; Latin:
Caralis
) is an Italian municipality and the capital of the island of Sardinia, an Autonomous Region of Italy. Cagliari's Sardinian name Casteddu literally means castle. An ancient city with a long history, Cagliari has seen the rule of   several civilizations. Under the buildings of the modern city there is a   continuous stratification of human settlements of about five thousand   years, from the Neolithic to today. Historical sites include the prehistoric domus de janas, very damaged by cave activity, a large Carthaginian era necropolis, a Roman era amphitheater, a Byzantine basilica, three Pisan-era towers, a strong system of fortification that made the town
the core of the Spanish Habsburg imperial power in the western Mediterranean sea
. Its natural resources   have always been its sheltered harbor, the oft-powerfully fortified hill   of Monti Castru, the modern Casteddu, the salt from its lagoons, and, from inland, the Campidano plain wheat and the Iglesiente mines.
Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed.
Bid with confidence!
Charles II
(6 November 1661, Madrid – 1 November 1700, Madrid), was the last Habsburg King of Spain and the ruler of nearly all of Italy (except Piedmont, the Papal States and the Republic of Venice), the Spanish territories in the Southern Low Countries, and Spain's overseas Empire, stretching from Mexico to the Philippines. He is noted for his extensive physical, intellectual, and emotional problems – along with the consequent ineffectual rule – as well as his role in the developments preceding the War of Spanish Succession.
