Cagliari Cathedral

The cathedral exhibits a combination of Romanesque Revival, Gothic, and traditional Romanesque elements in its architecture, including an octagonal dome and marble decorations.

Originally constructed in the 13th century, the cathedral underwent substantial modifications during the 1930s, receiving its current neo-Romanesque marble facade inspired by Pisa Cathedral.

The cathedral contains the Sanctuary of Martyrs, a rock-hewn crypt from 1618 that houses 192 relics distributed across niches created by craftsmen from Cagliari and Sicily.

Located in Piazza Palazzo, the cathedral maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore its three naves, transept, and various chapels with marble flooring.

The treasury includes the Triptych of Clement VII from a Flemish workshop and the Retablo dei Beneficiati created by Neapolitan artists in the 15th century.
