San Salvatore, Underground church museum in Cabras, Italy
The hypogeum complex features multiple rooms connected by corridors, with a central circular chamber containing a natural spring water well.
The site evolved from a Neolithic settlement to a Punic sanctuary dedicated to Sid, then became a Roman temple of Asclepius before its Christian conversion.
The walls display inscriptions in Punic, Greek, Latin, and Arabic scripts, along with paintings representing both pagan and Christian religious elements.
Visitors need to contact Cabras Town Hall to arrange access to the underground structure, which sits beneath a 17th-century church building.
The hypogeum includes repurposed Nuragic basins that now serve as holy water fonts, combining ancient and Christian religious practices in one location.
