Descrizione

The building dating back to the second half of the nineteenth century, rises in an area which includes Piazza Santa croce, Via Corte d'Appello and Via Santa Croce.

The main façade, in Neoclassical style, overlooks the Bastion of Santa Croce and develops into four floors. The second and third floors show windows decorated with blind gables and wide cornices, and balconies with wrought iron railings; in deep contrast to the previous ones, the windows on the first and fourth floors appear austere and unadorned. A marble headstone, dating back 1630 and placed at the entrance of the first floor, recalls the existence of a fountain located at Piazza Santa Croce, later incorporated into the building. The Azara palace during the years following its construction was used both as a municipal seat and as a museum, to keep the paintings from the church of Santa Teresa and from the disappeared church of San Francesco.

Descrizione

The building is located at Via Canelles in the historic district of Castello. Built during the Middle Ages, it has undergone several renovations until reaching its present appearance in the Art Nouveau style.

It has two floors, in addition to the ground floor, characterized by partition cornices and six paired windows on each floor. On the ground floor of the main façade we find the particular smooth rustication, typical of the buildings designed by Gaetano Cima. Each opening with a balcony is adorned with graceful terracotta tiles and with elegant spiral mullions. The windows on the first floor, overlooking via Canelles and vico Lamarmora, are adorned with decorated cornices.

The entrance hall's stairwell is particularly interesting, with two symmetrical flights of stairs, with mullion handrails, leading to a landing from which a secondary flight of stairs gives access to the apartments.

Palazzo Arcivescovile
Categoria/Sottocategoria
macrocategoria
Descrizione

The building, is home and residence of the Archbishop of Cagliari from the XII century.

It is situated in an area of Castello district, where also other typical buildings of Cagliari's history (the Cathedral, the Royal Palace, the former Town Hall) are located. Carlo Felice lived there during the Napoleonic period, because of the inadequacy of the Royal Palace. The current appearance of the main façade is due to significant reconstruction works, which took place at the end of the third decade of the last century. On the side wall funerary inscriptions are visible, dating back to the first Christian era. In the inner rooms numerous paintings and archaeological finds are kept; you can also see part of the original structure of the Cathedral, in Romanesque style.

Lixi Palace

Categoria/Sottocategoria
macrocategoria
Descrizione

The building, which takes the name of its designer and owner, the engineer Gaetano Lixi Delogu, is renowned for the exterior decoration made by Francesco Ciusa, faithfully renovated in the post-war period after being damaged by bombing in 1943. The construction works began in 1932, and ended after a year. Clearly visible throughout the building is the use of colour, cleverly combining painting and pink stone. Francesco Ciusa actively contributed to the work, taking care of design, refinements and exterior decorations. Among his works we remember the pink plaster, and low-reliefs reproducing caravels and fountains, particularly refined. The most significant decoration is the head of Gorgon Rondanini made during the reconstruction of the parts destroyed by the bombing in 1943.

Palazzata of via Roma

Palazzata di via Roma
Categoria/Sottocategoria
macrocategoria
Descrizione

These buildings have replaced the fortifications, formerly based on the ramparts of Saint Augustine (today crossing with Largo Carlo Felice), and the dock (at the corner of Viale Regina Margherita) demolished in 1863. These big palaces are formed by arcaded buildings that stand out for the combination of different decorative styles such as that one of the Renaissance and Art Nouveau.

In 1870, Via Roma was known as “Via San Francesco ”, and consisted of a series of small houses on the ground floor and first floor where families of workers and seafarers used to live. A row of houses was also located close to the pier bastions. They were public housing whose lower floors were occupied by small shops or popular trattorias. The construction of the port, was preceded by the demolition of those houses next to the dock in 1881.

In the area where the Rinascente palace was built, there was the building of the Iris cinema, and some large factories, later transferred to the outskirts of the town. After the Rinascente palace, we find the porticoed buildings constituting the “Palazzata”( an Italian word to define a series of palaces close to each other): the Magnini palaces built between 1894 and 1895 next to Baylle street; the Putzu-Spano palace dated back to the thirties; the Garzia palace built between 1894 and 1905 delimited by Via Napoli and Via Barcelona; ​​the Lione-Manca building erected between 1924 and 1934, it was the location of the Olympia cinema. The Devoto palace built in 1870 close to the church of San Francesco di Paola, and Vascellari Beretta mansion, located between Via Lepanto and Via Concezione. At the end of these palaces, the Regional Council, the Ravenna building dated back to 1910 and the INA palace built in the fifties, which has taken the place of Zamberletti palace destroyed during the bombing in 1943.
