National Pinacotheca of Cagliari
National Pinacotheca of Cagliari, Art museum in Citadel of Museums complex, Cagliari, Italy.
The National Pinacotheca of Cagliari sits on Piazza Arsenale within the Citadel of Museums complex and displays artworks spanning from the 16th to the 20th century across its galleries. The collection includes paintings, altarpieces, and other works that show different regions and schools from southern Europe.
The museum was founded in 1966 to gather and preserve a growing art collection from Sardinia. In its early years, staff worked to acquire particularly fine works from the 15th and 16th centuries that showed the region's religious and artistic traditions.
The collection reflects artistic traditions rooted in Sardinia and the wider Mediterranean, visible through the works displayed across its rooms. You can see how local creative practices connected with styles from southern Europe over many centuries.
Access is through the Citadel complex where other museums are also located, with signage to guide you. Plan a few hours to explore the collection at your own pace, especially if you are interested in older artworks.
The building itself forms part of the old Citadel area that has shaped the city's story for centuries. This location adds extra context to the artworks inside, as they hang in spaces that are themselves part of the city's past.
