Cagliari Cathedral, Cathedral in Castello district, Cagliari, Italy
Cagliari Cathedral is a church in the Castello district with a marble facade added in the 20th century. The building measures roughly 35 m long and 34 m wide, and features an octagonal dome rising above the nave.
The church was built in the 13th century and took its current form only in the 1930s. During that time, the facade was redesigned following the model of Pisa and covered with marble.
The crypt sits beneath the main altar and was carved directly into bedrock to hold hundreds of relics. Craftsmen from the city and from Sicily worked together to create niches where these religious objects are kept.
The building stands on Piazza Palazzo in the old town and opens to visitors during the day. Inside, you will find three naves with a transept and several chapels, all floored with marble.
The treasury displays a triptych from a Flemish workshop and an altarpiece from the 15th century. Both works show the island's connection to artistic currents from northern Europe and Naples.
