San Lucifero, Mannerist church building in Villanova district, Cagliari, Italy.

The San Lucifero church features a two-level facade with an oculus, rectangular openings, and granitic columns framing the main entrance point.

The church structure was built between 1646 and 1682 on the site of a Roman necropolis where early Christian martyrs were buried.

The interior contains three chapels within a single nave and displays a Baroque gilded altar with a Virgin statue by Giuseppe Antonio Lonis.

The church opens daily from 07:30 to 09:30 and 17:00 to 19:30, with access through buses 6, 29, 30, or 31 stopping at Dante station.
