Cattedrale di Santa Maria
Bästa tid att besöka
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.
Budgettips
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.

Om
Snabba fakta: Under klara dagar erbjuder katedralens 1300-talsklocktorn panoramautsikt som sträcker sig över Gulf of Cagliari till bergen. Kyrkan byggdes direkt in i klippan i Castello-distriktet, med sina grundvalar förankrade i uråldrig kalksten.
Höjdpunkter: Gömd under huvudaltaret ligger Martyrernas krypta, ett suggestivt vackert rum där kvarlevor av 179 tidiga kristna helgon visas bakom glas, deras ben arrangerade i utsmyckade mönster. En enda solstråle träffar marmorsarkofagerna exakt klockan tolv varje dag och skapar ett eteriskt sken som lockat pilgrimer i århundraden.
