Chiostro di San Domenico, Gothic cloister in Villanova district, Cagliari, Italy.
The quadrangular structure extends 25 meters on each side, featuring full arches supported by octagonal pillars and a central garden.
The Dominican friars established their first Sardinian settlement in 1254, building the complex on land previously occupied by the Benedictine church of Sant'Anna.
The west wing contains seven 15th-century chapels with ribbed vaults, decorated with plant motifs and animal figures on the carved capitals.
Visitors can explore the cloister and adjacent crypt, which now hosts religious services, art exhibitions, and concerts throughout the year.
The structure combines two distinct construction periods, with the west and south wings from the 15th century and the north and east wings rebuilt in 1598.
