San Michele, Baroque church in Alghero, Italy
The San Michele church displays a distinctive octagonal dome covered with colored ceramic tiles, rising above a simple sandstone facade on Via Carlo Alberto.
The construction of San Michele began in the late 16th century, with its official opening occurring in 1593, marking a significant period in Alghero's religious development.
The wooden sculpture inside depicts Saint Michael defeating Satan, while the exterior architecture combines Italian Baroque elements with local Sardinian craftsmanship.
Located at the intersection of Via Carlo Alberto and Via Gilbert Ferret, the church maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours for visitors.
The intersection near the church, known as quatre cantonades, has traditionally served as a gathering point for workers seeking employment since medieval times.
