Through this tour, which coasts the sea and Viale Colombo where it is possible to see the Basilica of Bonaria, we reach the old fishermen’s suburb of Sant’Elia. Here it is located the ancient Lazaretto that, around the middle of the XVII centuries, it was used to commit people and goods coming from the outside countries strucked by leprosy, cholera, smallpox and typhus. The Lazaretto lies in a very suggestive scenery and has been recently restored to host temporary and permanent exhibitions. The Little Train will stop in front of the building to alow passenger to visit the exhibition construction or for a walk promenade.
