Cattedrale di Santa Maria
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Visit late afternoon (around 4-5 PM) when the golden light streams through the rose window and illuminates the pulpit. Weekday mornings are the quietest for exploring the crypt without crowds.
Conseils budget
Entry to the cathedral is free, but the Crypt of the Martyrs and bell tower climb cost €4 combined. The Cagliari City Pass includes access and is worth it if you plan to visit multiple sites in the Castello quarter.

À propos
Faits rapides: Par temps clair, le clocher du XIVe siècle de la cathédrale offre des vues panoramiques s'étendant sur le golfe de Cagliari jusqu'aux montagnes. L'église a été construite directement dans la roche du quartier du Castello, ses fondations ancrées dans le calcaire ancien.
Points forts: Cachée sous le maître-autel se trouve la Crypte des Martyrs, une chambre d'une beauté saisissante où les restes de 179 saints chrétiens primitifs sont exposés derrière une vitre, leurs ossements arrangés en motifs ornés. Un unique rayon de soleil frappe les sarcophages de marbre à exactement midi chaque jour, créant une lueur éthérée qui attire les pèlerins depuis des siècles.
