Like many old churches in ancient towns it is plain on the outside and inside the architecture is very striking and here there is an unusual ornate marble altar. The stone walls and archways have a lofty simplicity which creates a tranquil ambience that befits its history. The church complex includes a convent and cloister that was originally built in the 1300’s and was restored in the 14th century. The church unfortunately collapsed in 1593 and was rebuilt in 1598. It has a beautiful vault in the presbytery with magnificent Baroque altars which are similar to those in Saint Anthony of Padua. The two-tiered cloister is the oldest part of the complex and is located in the heart of the main shopping district on Via Carlo Alberto which makes an ideal venue for the concerts which are held here in the summer months. The cloister leads to a small chapel at the base of the tower where there are some beautiful murals inside the portico. There are many really beautiful paintings and statues, especially the wooden statue of Christ at the Column which is particularly moving. A striking stained glass window over a stone well is brightly coloured and looks to be of a modern design, also look out for the huge bell just inside the door. I think this is one of the more atmospheric churches in Sardinia.

Staying in the area and went up to old town a couple of times. Glad we did. The lady who showed us round was excellent and her English was great, she obviously knew her stuff and helped bring it all to life. Lot smaller than other cathedral and crypts I have visited but still would recommend visiting.
