The Cathedral
The Cathedral of Cagliari, dedicated to St. Mary, is situated in
Piazza Palazzo in the historical quarter of Castello. The church
was built by the Pisans in the XIII Century in the same place in
which there was the church of St. Cecily.
It was originally in the Roman-Pisan style but, in 1702, it was
modified with baroque elements.

The church, built on a cross like shape, has three naves with a
trasversal one (transept); the internal area of the main altar
(presbytery) is raised and closed in by a marble balustrade.

baroque style.
