Iglesia de San Efisio, Baroque church in Stampace district, Cagliari, Italy.
The church features a rectangular layout with three chapels on each side, an octagonal dome above the presbytery, and a facade with Ionic order lesenes.
Built between 1726 and 1782, this church replaced an earlier structure and stands above a limestone cave where Saint Efisio was imprisoned before his execution.
The church holds the statue of Saint Efisio, which leads the annual May 1st procession through a 65-kilometer route from Cagliari to Nora.
The underground cave chamber, located 9 meters below the church floor, remains closed to regular visits pending its conversion into a museum space.
The main altar from 1786, created by Giovanni Battista Franco, contains precious marble decorations characteristic of late 18th-century architectural style.
