Cathedral of Santa Chiara, Romanesque cathedral in Iglesias, Italy
The Cathedral of Santa Chiara presents a quadrangular structure with a refined facade, complemented by a square bell tower housing four historic bells.
Construction of the cathedral began before 1284 and was completed by 1288, initially featuring a single-aisle room built from sedimentary stone.
The cathedral stands in a central square alongside the Town Hall and Bishop's Palace, forming the primary religious and administrative center of Iglesias.
The structure includes a central nave with four bays, two square chapels forming a transept, and multiple small chapels along the sides for prayer.
An ancient epigraph on the left side of the facade displays installation dates and features a heraldic shield with an eagle representing the Donoratico family.
