Tasks

Task no.1

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Let's be creative, why don't we?
Take a picture of a church of your choosing from a creative angle.
Don’t just take a picture of its façade, though, and instead focus on some detail of its architecture that catches your eye. Is it the way a particular window reflects the light? Or how the cross on top seems just a little crooked?
Find your special detail and upload your picture as evidence.

Task no.2

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Churches can be beautiful on the outside, but often it's when you go inside that you will find their most interesting treasures.
If you have the chance to go in and visit any of the churches you’re coming across, take a picture of either the pipe organ, the altar or the coolest work of art you can see (it can be a statue, a painting, or even a stained glass window) - then upload it as evidence!

Task no.3

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

Find the little Church of St. Efisio and take a group picture (or a selfie) in front of it.
St. Efisio is celebrated each year with a great festival on the 1st of May, and that’s one of the main events in the whole island of Sardinia.
﻿
Fun fact: St. Efisio is not the Saint Patron of Cagliari, but legend has it that he saved the city once from pestilence and once from a French invasion, so he’s much more revered than the actual Saint Patron, St. Saturnino.
