Things to do in Sardinia, Italy: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia. From posh Costa Smerelda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south, and with many picturesque towns and unspoiled sandy beaches in between, Sardinia’s got a little something for everyone.

The Sanctuary is small and really beautiful, Gothic Aragonese in style. You are immediately attracted by the statue of Our Lady of Bonaria, which arrived in Sardinia in a very adventurous way in 1370. There is a special atmosphere in the Sanctuary. The Basilica was built in 1704 and is used on Saturdays and Sundays and for special events. The location is perfect to enjoy a great view.

Tempio Malchittu is one of the 7 sites that make up the Arzachena Site. located approximately 15 km from Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda, well worth the short drive. Three of the sites are here on either side of the main road. This site requires a walk thru a very well marked and laid out track thru pasture land and forest about 1.5 km. The last bit is a little steep and rocky so sturdy footwear is recommended. There is a small building in the shape of an apse, the remains of a small nuraghe and some great climbing rocks for those strong enough and agile enough to attempt. Once back at the ticket office, a sort walk along a sidewalk brings you to the Tomba di Giganti Moru. If you have time, it’s worth the 15-20 minutes this take. If you are going on to Nuraghe Prisgione and the Tomba di Giganti at Coddu Vecchju, and I strongly suggest you do so, you can easily skip this tomb. Across the road, thru an underpass, you will find Nuraghe Albuccio. Due to its proximity to the other two sites, it’s worth the short walk and a 30-40 minute visit.
10. Cattedrale di Sant'Antonio Abate e Museum Ampuriense

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.
