Cripta di Sant'Agostino, Underground chapel in Stampace district, Cagliari, Italy
The subterranean crypt features a classical marble altar from 1638 with a niche containing a statue of Saint Augustine and decorative elements.
From 504 to 722, the crypt stored the remains of Saint Augustine, brought to Cagliari by Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe during his exile from North Africa.
The crypt walls display seventeenth-century Valencian azulejo tiles, combining Spanish decorative arts with Italian religious architecture.
Visitors can access the underground chapel through a spiral staircase located in the entrance hall of Palazzo Accardo on Largo Carlo Felice.
Behind the altar lies a cavity that contained saint relics and a water source that local traditions considered to possess healing properties.
