Cagliari Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint Cecilia, stands on Piazza Palazzo in the Castello quarter. Built by the Pisans in the 13th century, it became the archbishop's seat in 1258, gained Baroque chapels in the 17th and 18th centuries and its neo-Romanesque façade in the 1930s. Beneath the presbytery lies the Sanctuary of the Martyrs.
The Basilica of San Saturnino in Cagliari's Villanova district stands in an early Christian cemetery over the burial place of Saint Saturninus, martyred in 304. First built in the 4th–5th century and rebuilt in the 6th as a domed Greek-cross church, it was remodelled by monks from Marseille and reconsecrated in 1119. The domed centre and its eastern arm survive.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Bonaria stands on the Bonaria hill in Cagliari and has been cared for by the Mercedarian friars since 1335. It joins a small 14th-century church, home to the wooden statue of the Madonna said to have come ashore in 1370, with the larger basilica beside it. Our Lady of Bonaria is the patron saint of Sardinia.
