    The Roman Catholic basilica and the pilgrimage church are dedicated to the Virgin Mary as the patron saint of the island and seafarers. The small pilgrimage church dates from the 14th century. The basilica was added in 1920. As so often in Sardinia, it was simply built on the old building.

      The Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Bonaria is a Catholic place of worship dedicated to the Madonna di Bonaria, the patron saint of Cagliari. Located on the hill of Bonaria, it offers a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding sea. The original building dates back to the 14th century. The sanctuary is a popular starting point for hiking along the southern coast of Sardinia.

        Imagine standing on a hill above Cagliari, surrounded by the tranquility of an ancient pilgrimage church and breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the shimmering sea. This is exactly what awaits you when you visit the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Bonaria, one of the most revered places of worship in Sardinia.

        Nostra Signora di Bonaria is not only a place of faith, but also a witness to history. The small church, which is part of today's building ensemble, was built in the 14th century. Through the centuries it remained a place of worship until a basilica was finally added in 1920. Instead of creating a new foundation, the Sardinians chose the traditional route and built the basilica directly onto the old sanctuary.

        The Madonna di Bonaria is venerated here as the patron saint of Cagliari, the island and sailors. As you enter the grounds, you feel the deep reverence the locals have for them. The silence of the place and the beauty of the surroundings invite contemplation and peace.

        Many hikes along the breathtaking southern coast of Sardinia start from here. It is the perfect starting point to discover the natural beauty of the region without forgetting the cultural and spiritual richness that this sacred place offers.
