Beautiful baroque cathedral with a separate bell tower.

This long single lane bridge crosses the Marceddì lagoon. Given its size, it is particularly exposed to the wind. It connects the Costa Verde to the Oristano plains. The alternative would be to circumnavigate the lagoon, but this adds several kilometers to the route. Passage is prohibited for any motorized vehicle. The views of the water from both sides, as you stand in the center of the bridge, are extraordinary.

A cathedral, so for Hamburgers: no carousels and beer, just church and stuff. Beautifully colorful inside.

nice square outside a pleasant baroque cathedral with a couple of gothic vestiges

The first document that testifies to the existence of the church dedicated to Santa Maria dates from February 20, 1192. In 1195 the cathedral and the entire city were set on fire and sacked by the troops of the magistrate of Cagliari Guglielmo de Lacon-Massa. The cathedral was badly damaged during the military occupation of the city and in 1228 reconstruction began. The pointed arch building, written documents and two bronze knockers on the portal bear witness to this. In the first half of the 14th century, the Romanesque structure of the Duomo was modified... The transept and the first bell tower were part of the 1300 extension, whose colored majolica dome was only added in the 18th century. In the will of King Hugh II of Arborea of April 4, 1335, the ruler mentions the place where he wanted to be buried: in the Church of the Virgin Mary of Oristano and precisely in the Chapel of San Bartolomeo, which still needs to be completed . Further extensions may have taken place between 1336 and 1349, as the grave of the legal adviser Filippo Mameli, who died in 1349, suggests. During an invasion of French militias that took place on February 25, 1637, the city of Oristano, the churches and especially the cathedral were looted and badly damaged. With the arrival of Sardinian troops from Cagliari and Sassari, the French soldiers decided to leave the city on February 28th to embark again. Pursued by the Sardinian military, the French left behind two pieces of artillery, eleven boats, thirty-six prisoners and eight banners, four of which are preserved on the wall of the main entrance of Oristano Cathedral. The current cathedral, built in the years 1729-1745 to an elegant Piedmontese Baroque design, houses the chapel with the relics of Sant'Archelao, patron saint of the city and the diocese.

Portixedda (literally "little door") is one of the smaller structures of the city walls, built between 1290 and 1293 by order of Judge Mariano II de' Bas-Serra d'Arborea. The defensive building controlled the important eastern access point that led to the Villa of Silì, continuing along the ancient Roman path of the Forum Traiani and finally to the Barbagie in the northeast of the island. The 13th-century structure was constructed as a square tower using mixed stone and mortar masonry techniques and was finished with an outer layer of sandstone blocks… In the second half of the 16th century, fears of an invasion of Sardinia by the Ottoman Empire necessitated an operation to modernize the defensive structures. For this purpose, the upper part of the medieval tower was demolished, while the lower part was built into a new massive tower with a circular base. The cut stone of the previous structure was reused, along with other elements such as B. the Machikoles and loopholes, which have been adapted for the use of firearms. Key elements of military development included the creation of a decorative outer bank layer built just around the base to support offensive artillery attacks. Puerta de Levante was the name given to the new solid due to its role of patrolling the road leading east. However, it was more commonly known as Portixedda to distinguish it from the largest doors such as Porta Ponti by its small size… Source: https://www.museooristano.it/view/s/b44c7b15ef994e9ca59e60fc73147784
