Discover Cagliari - Churches

Piazza Palazzo, 4/A, 09124 Cagliari CA, Italy

Inhoud

Italy is a strongly Catholic country and you can certainly see that from the amount of churches that Cagliari has to offer.
Churches in Cagliari date back to various centuries, and have been built in a variety of styles. Most of them are located in the historical center of town and are free to visit, they are usually open to the public and you can go there on your own.
From the tall Cathedral of St. Mary to the panoramic Church of Bonaria, and from the creepy frescos of St. Sepulchre to the small but renowned Church of St. Efisio, protector of Cagliari and probably the most revered Saint in Sardinia, there’s no shortage of interesting places to discover and learn the history of.
﻿
For this activity, you can start from Piazza Yenne and move around the historical centre from there.
If you're tackling this activity after activity 2 of the playlist and you've ended up in Via Stretta or Via Piccioni, we suggest that you start instead from the Cathedral and move downhill from there.
You can find a selection of interesting churches and a map of a possible itinerary in the resources section and in the map below.
We recommend the use of Google Maps for finding your way.
﻿
﻿
﻿
Hint: if you don’t have internet access through your phone’s mobile data, turn on your wi-fi and look for “Free Wi-Fi Ca” network. Much of the city centre is covered by this open wi-fi network that allows you to navigate for 3 consecutive hours for free by just accepting their terms and conditions.
﻿
You’ll have to complete at least 2 of the 3 listed tasks in order to claim your badge.

Taken

Taak nr.1

Bewijs bevestigd door: één activiteitenorganisator

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.

Taak nr.2

Bewijs bevestigd door: één activiteitenorganisator

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!

Taak nr.3

Bewijs bevestigd door: één activiteitenorganisator

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.
