Cagliari moves Monumenti Aperti forward: scheduled for 18–19 April 2026

For the thirtieth edition, Monumenti Aperti in Cagliari will take place on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April 2026. The dates, confirmed on the event's official site, were anticipated due to a busy late-spring calendar in the city.

Founded by the association Imago Mundi and active in Cagliari since 1997, the initiative keeps its well-established format promoting historical and artistic heritage through special openings and guided tours.

• Schools at the center: roughly fifty local schools typically participate, with thousands of students serving as guides.
• Purpose: to narrate the city's history and identity, including guided visits offered in English.
• Reason for the change: May 2026 is packed with events (including Sant'Efisio and America's Cup preliminary regattas), prompting the earlier local dates.

Program details and the list of open monuments will be announced in the coming weeks. Monumenti Aperti remains a widespread celebration of the territory, aimed at making cultural assets, historic neighborhoods and natural routes more accessible.
