Best Hikes to Cathedral of St. Nicholas (Cattedrale di San Nicola), Sassari

Tips

  • The most impressive part of Sassari's Cathedral of St. Nicholas is its imaginative Baroque facade with playful pedestals, balconies, coats of arms, pilasters and floral capital decorations. Watching over this limestone work of art is an imposing statue of the city's patron saint: San Nicola da Bari, Saint Nicholas of Myra. He is only crowned at the top of the facade by the Lord God with a globe; and on the lower floor of the tripartite gabled facade there are three niches with the three martyrs of Sassari: Gavino, Proto and Gianuario.
    The facade, which is strongly reminiscent of the Spanish colonial baroque in South America, stands out strongly from the rest of the outer walls: the Gothic nave is far less picturesque than the imposing entrance area. The interior of the church, on the other hand, is dominated by medieval Gothic with partially exposed, high ribbed vaults. The sacristy of Sassari Cathedral also houses the Duomo Museum, where, with a bit of luck, you can admire paintings, silverwork, statues, religious cult objects and liturgical vestments.
