This church in Olbia is dedicated to Saint Paul. He was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and, unlike the other apostles, was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime, but was converted later by the famous "Damascus Road experience" (see Acts, chapter 9). His attribute, with which he is almost always depicted in paintings or as a statue, is the sword he holds in one hand, with which he was executed for his confession of faith in Jesus Christ. Such a sentence was, according to the law of the time, a "privilege" reserved only for those with Roman citizenship (because it guaranteed a swift death and was not, like other forms of execution, associated with a long and agonizing death struggle). Peter and Paul (Santi Pietro e Paolo) are also known together as the "Princes of the Apostles," and their joint feast day in the liturgical calendar is June 29.

It's not in the place indicated, but in Parco Nanni. On the other side of the parking lot.

Cagliari's landmark is the imposing Cathedral of Santa Maria. It was built in the 13th century but has undergone numerous structural alterations over the years. It incorporates Romantic and Baroque styles, as well as the Pisan style. The current façade recalls the cathedral's original Romantic appearance, but the Baroque style still dominates the interior. A tour of the church reveals magnificent, detailed paintings on the ceiling, imposing sculptures, and a marble pulpit that once stood in Pisa Cathedral. In the crypt, you can marvel at around 300 burial chambers.

Very impressive from the outside. I didn't go inside because they charged a €3 entrance fee (September 2025).

Olbia is a coastal town in the northeast of the Italian island of Sardinia.

The Jacaranda are spectacular in early June.

The tower has a circular floor plan and consists of two large sections connected by a staircase carved into the thick surrounding wall. In 1412, the women of Alghero heroically defended this tower against an attack by the troops of the Viscount of Narbonne. In the 19th century, it became known as the Torre di Sulis after the Cagliari notary Vincenzo Sulis. He was imprisoned there from 1799 to 1821 for conspiracy and treason. The tower and the adjacent piazza have been a popular meeting place for years.

The top is covered with colored tiles and looks great... it's a beautiful church ⛪️
