Monument to Charles Felix of Sardinia, Bronze monument in Piazza Yenne, Cagliari, Italy
The Monument to Charles Felix of Sardinia is a bronze statue in neoclassical style standing in Piazza Yenne, in the center of Cagliari. The figure rises about 4 meters above ground on a stone pedestal, portraying the king in a formal pose.
The statue was commissioned in 1830 to honor Charles Felix, who ruled Sardinia from 1821 to 1831. It was officially unveiled in 1860, nearly thirty years after the king's death.
The monument sits in Piazza Yenne, a hub where residents and visitors naturally gather throughout the day. The square's design and surrounding architecture reflect the importance this ruler held in shaping the city's development.
The statue stands in the middle of Piazza Yenne and is easy to reach on foot from most parts of the city center. Walking through the surrounding streets gives a good sense of the older part of the city.
Right next to the statue, the Via Carlo Felice begins, one of the longest roads on the island, connecting Cagliari in the south to Sassari in the north. A small milestone at the base of the pedestal marks this starting point.
