Sant'Efisio

The Sant'Efisio church displays rounded arches and sturdy pillars characteristic of Romanesque architecture, with stone walls standing near the Mediterranean coast.

Constructed in 1089, the church became a significant religious site after housing the remains of Saint Efisio until 1098, following his martyrdom by Romans.

The church functions as the central point for annual May celebrations when the statue of Saint Efisio arrives through a procession from Cagliari.

Located meters from the sea, the church remains open to visitors throughout the year and provides information about its architectural features and religious significance.

The structure maintains its original 11th-century Romanesque elements while incorporating the history of a 4th-century Roman soldier who converted to Christianity.
