Venue

Located in the southeast corner of Cagliari’s historic Marina district, Sa Manifattura is a unique venue that beautifully merges past and future. Originally built in the late 15th century as a convent with an adjoining church, this historic building later transformed into one of Cagliari's first factories in the late 18th century. For over two centuries, it produced the renowned Tuscan cigars, becoming a symbol of the city’s economic evolution post-Spanish rule.

After closing in 2001, Sa Manifattura has been reborn as a vibrant cultural and technological hub. Covering over 6,000 square meters, it now hosts a dynamic mix of open spaces and industrial structures. The ground floor preserves elements of the original convent, while the 19th-century factory buildings house workshops and tobacco storage.

Today, this multifaceted venue supports a variety of events ranging from fashion and artisanal crafts to graphic design, communication, and digital innovation. It continues to be a pivotal part of Cagliari’s social and cultural scene, fostering the production of ideas and projects.

Just 350 meters north of Sa Manifattura lies the iconic Bastione Saint Remy, offering stunning views of the city and a perfect continuation of your visit. Embrace the unique blend of history and modernity at Sa Manifattura, and experience the evolving spirit of Cagliari.
