Chiesa di Santa Maria del Santo Monte di Pietà, Gothic church in Castello district, Cagliari, Italy
Santa Maria del Santo Monte di Pietà is a church in Cagliari featuring Catalan Gothic architecture with a simple stone facade and modest interior spaces. The building stands in the Castello district on Via Corte d'Appello.
Construction began in 1564 for a brotherhood rooted in 16th-century papal foundations. The building later served different purposes before undergoing restoration in the late 20th century.
This place served as a gathering point for noble families who formed a brotherhood dedicated to helping those in need. Visitors can still see the spaces where this community came together for their charitable work.
The church is centrally located in the old town district and is easily accessible on foot. Visits are organized periodically, and you should check ahead for availability.
The building was not simply a place of prayer but served important social functions for its community. After wartime use and changes, it was deliberately restored to its original purpose.
