Cagliari’s cathedral must be the first one to be mentioned. Located in the heart of Castellohistoric quarter, it was built in the 13th century in Gothic style – though very little remains of the original church (just the base of the bell tower!). The facade, in pisan-romanesque style, is actually a historic-fake as it was added to the church betwee...
In Piazza Restituta (Restituta Square) this church was severely damaged during the bombings of WWII and entirely rebuilt afterwards. The church is in baroque style but the columns are in ionic style.
Located in Via Ospedale, in the heart of the historic district of Stampace, San Michele church dates back to 1538, and is one of the most beautiful in town. It is mostly decorated in rococo style.

It has a Greek-Orthodox plan; although the basilica was actually built over a roman necropolis fr...
Last but not least, you may want to visit San Lucifero church, a baroque style church whose most notable sight is the 6th century crypt where Saint Lucifer, archbishop of Cagliari, was buried.
