Parish Church of Saint Paul the Apostle (Olbia)

Chiesa Parrocchiale di S.Paolo Apostolo di Olbia
Parish Church of St. Paul the Apostle
The Church of St. Paul is a Catholic Christian church dating back to the eighteenth century and is located in the historic center of the city. Built at the highest point of Olbia, in that part which, according to some scholars, could have been the area of the Punic and Roman acropolis, considering the finds of a temple construction dating back to the mid-fourth century BC, identified with the sanctuary of Melqart - Hercules. A piece of wall that must have surrounded the temple structure was also found, as well as fragments of archaic Greek ceramics. Inside there are panels in which the translation of the Latin writings on the phases of the life and conversion of St. Paul is given. The church, made entirely of granite, has a sober bell tower to which a polychrome dome has been added, giving it an evocative appearance. Originally it had a rectangular hall with an apse and three side chapels. However, many details of this church were lost during the expansion work.
