Cagliari Cathedral

Cagliari Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria, stands in the heart of the historic Castello district. Originally built in the 13th century, it blends Romanesque foundations with later Baroque and neo-Romanesque elements, reflecting centuries of change. Inside, visitors can see richly decorated chapels, notable artworks, and the crypt of the Martyrs. Its elevated setting also places it near some of the city’s best panoramic viewpoints, making it a worthwhile stop for travelers interested in history, architecture, and the atmosphere of old Cagliari.
