San Pietro di Sorres

The cathedral stands at the summit of a volcanic hill, featuring Romanesque architecture with three single lancet windows illuminating the apse from the east.

Construction began between 1171 and 1178 under Bishop Goffredo di Meleduno, serving as the seat of Sorres diocese until its incorporation into Sassari archdiocese in 1505.

The cathedral houses a museum displaying religious art collections, numismatic items, and archaeological findings that document the site's history through different periods.

The monastery offers accommodation in 23 rooms with private bathrooms, including single, double, and four-bed options, along with meal services for up to 80 visitors.

The site contains evidence of continuous human presence since Neolithic times, with archaeological discoveries confirming Carthaginian and Roman settlements in the area.
