Santa Croce, Baroque basilica in Castello district, Cagliari, Italy.

The Santa Croce Basilica stands on a hilltop with a square bell tower and decorative obelisks adorning its articulated facade.

Originally built as a synagogue, the structure was converted into a Catholic church following the expulsion of Jews from Spanish territories in 1492.

The basilica holds regular Sunday masses following the extraordinary Roman rite, maintaining traditional Catholic liturgical practices within its historical walls.

Visitors can reach the basilica using bus lines 7, 8, or 10, with the main entrance located in Piazzetta Santa Croce.

The adjacent building, formerly a Jesuit college, now houses the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Cagliari.
