San Paolo, Medieval Catholic church in historic center of Olbia, Italy.

The San Paolo church features a rectangular hall with three side chapels, crowned by a granite bell tower with a polychrome dome.

The church stands on the site of a former Punic and Roman acropolis, where archaeological findings reveal remnants of a fourth-century BC Templar structure.

The interior displays panels with Latin translations narrating Saint Paul's life and conversion, alongside Venetian-crafted wooden choir stalls and pulpit.

Located at the highest point of Olbia's historic center, the church maintains regular hours for religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the day.

Recent excavations beneath the church revealed two crypts containing remains of eighteen local families from different historical periods.
