Construction of the beautiful Baroque style collegiate church began at the end of the 18th century to replace an earlier smaller church from the 13th century. It was badly damaged by bombing during World War II in 1943 and rebuilt after the war.

The church is associated with a well-known Cagliari saying. "Sa factory de Sant'Anna" ("The building of Sant'Anna") is used sarcastically to denote something that goes on forever, such as the very long and difficult building history of the church.

Beyond the Horizon

The beginnings of this church date back to the 13th century, when a more modest church stood in its place. But at the end of the 18th century it was decided to replace it with a more magnificent building, and so began the long and not always easy building history of today's church. The turmoil of the Second World War left its mark, and the bombing of 1943 caused significant damage to this spiritual jewel. However, the will and determination of the people of Cagliari ensured that the church was rebuilt in the post-war period to restore its beauty and pride.

The interesting and challenging architectural history of the Chiesa Collegiata di Sant'Anna has left a lasting impression in Cagliari. - "Sa factory de Sant'Anna" - "The construction of Sant'Anna". When something seems to take forever in Cagliari today, it is often compared to the complicated building history of this church.

Saint Anne is the mother of the Blessed Mother Mary, who is not attested in the biblical texts, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal (i.e. not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called “Protoevangelium of James”. There is no historically reliable information about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patron of the Annakirche in Düren (NRW), where a piece of her skull is kept as a relic.
In the church calendar, Saint Anna's memorial day - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.
