Sanctuary of Our Lady of Bonaria

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Bonaria is one of Cagliari’s most important religious landmarks, overlooking the sea from a hill east of the city center. Founded in the 14th century, it is dedicated to the Virgin of Bonaria, patron saint of Sardinia and linked to a long maritime tradition. Visitors come for its historic church and basilica, peaceful setting, and cultural significance. It’s especially worth a stop if you’re interested in Sardinian history, Catholic heritage, or panoramic views near the harbor.
