This church was dedicated to the Archangel Michael “SAN MICHELE”. The name (coming from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel (and by some counts Uriel) - one of the three or four archangels who (according to our human imagination) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints' calendar is September 29th.

When walking through Alghero, the colorful roof of the Chiesa di San Michele always catches the eye. Once there, you should definitely take a look inside. The interior is very worth seeing.

The church is one of the best examples of Sardinian Baroque, dedicated to the city's patron saint - St. Michael. The single-nave temple has six deep chapels containing valuable works of art (especially paintings). The dome crowning the building is one of the city's landmarks.
