Descrizione

The entrance on the west arm of the church of San Domenico leads to the crypt or lower church, consisting of the remains of the ancient convent structure.

The crypt still preserves the plan of the ancient church: a nave divided into two spans with vaulted cross vaults, side chapels and presbytery. The vaults and the upper part of the perimeter walls were lost during the bombings in 1943. The only room left intact is the chapel of the "Madonna del Rosario", the last on the left proceeding towards the presbytery, connected to the nave by a short corridor with barrel vault decorated with rosettes alternating with raised diamond points. In the Sanctuary of the Martyrs there is a similar decoration which is accessible through a triumphal arch framed by pilasters and surmounted by a tympanum.

The crypt of San Domenico is currently used both for religious services and for cultural events, such as concerts and art exhibitions in general.

Descrizione

The 179 niches of the crypt were discovered during excavations carried out under the presbytery by the will of the archbishop de Esquivel, at the beginning of the 17th century. Above each niche there is a marble bas-relief panel of the saint with its name and the symbols of martyrdom. The Sanctuary, entirely excavated on the living rock, was inaugurated on November 27, 1618, after a solemn procession with the relics of the Martyrs, in the presence of religious and civil authorities and with the participation of all the Christian people. In the Sanctuary, there are architectural and artistic elements of the Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassicism. On the landing that is located under the marble stairs leading to the Sanctuary, there is the marble sarcophagus of the archbishop Francisco de Esquivel, made by Antonio Zelpi, and a 17th century Spanish school painting depicting the Crucifixion on which the same archbishop and martyrs from Cagliari. On the sides of the sarcophagus there are also two plaques commemorating the erection and consecration of the Sanctuary on 11 November 1618, and the translation of the relics, which took place on 27 November of the same year.

The Martyrs' Sanctuary consists of three rooms:

in the Central Chapel or of the “Madonna dei Martiri” there are 66 niches. Above the altar there is a statue of the “Madonna and Child and San Giuseppe and Sant'Anna” on the sides. Above the two side doors two plaques commemorate the responses of Pope Paul V and the king of Spain Philip III to the discovery of the relics.

In the Chapel of San Lucifero, dedicated to the homonymous bishop of Cagliari, there are 80 niches. The bones of the saint, found on June 21, 1623 and moved on May 20, 1626, are placed under the altar table; above the altar is instead placed his statue. Above the entrance door are posted the original inscription, which was located in the saint's tomb and the triangular piece of marble found on the bishop's chest. In the chapel there is also a Roman sarcophagus containing the bones of Saint Antiochus and the white marble mausoleum of Maria Giuseppina di Savoia, wife of Louis XVIII king of France, who died in exile in London in 1810 and moved to Cagliari, to his will, in 1811.

The Chapel of Saint Saturnino, dedicated to the patron saint of the city of Cagliari, was built around 1620 and contains 33 niches. Above the altar, a 2nd century Roman sarcophagus (found in 1621 in the basilica of Saint Saturnino) preserves the saint's relics. Above it, in a niche, there is the statue of Saint Saturnino. Inside the chapel there are two other Roman sarcophagi: one located above the entrance door which contains relics of 10 saints, the other placed on the wall behind the monument dedicated to Carlo Emanuele di Savoia contains relics of 9 saints. At the end of the chapel there is the mausoleum of Carlo Emanuele di Savoia, who died of smallpox at the age of two. The monument, built in 1799, is the work of Antonio Cano. Above, two marble lunettes made in the early eighteenth century depict San Pietro and the Madonna del Carmine.

Convent of Saint Rosalia

Convento di Santa Rosalia
Categoria/Sottocategoria
macrocategoria
Descrizione

In the 15th century, an oratory dedicated to Santa Rosalia existed on the site of the present church. In 1740 the church was granted to the Observant Friars without headquarters since 1718, the year of the demolition of the convent of Santa Maria di Gesù (located in Regina Margherita avenue). Expecting the arrival of the friars, the church of Santa Rosalia, flanked by a convent, was subjected to new works by the military architect Augusto della Vallea, who transformed the temple into a Piedmontese Baroque style.

The most important part of the temple, from an artistic point of view, is the Baroque facade, together with the adjacent portico, which in the past had the function of connecting the two parts of the convent.

Convent of Saint Ignazio

Convento di Sant'Ignazio
Categoria/Sottocategoria
macrocategoria
Descrizione

The main convent of the Sardinian Capuchin friars, the place of residence of the Provincial Father, is built on an ancient pagan site on the hill of Buoncammino. Under the convent there are the famous Punic caves transformed by the Romans into stone quarries to build the amphitheatre, to which they are connected by an underground tunnel. Recent findings have highlighted a graffiti of exceptional importance for the presence of Christian martyrs in the caves and for the dating of the evangelization of Sardinia. In the sec. XVII the Capuchin friars had used the convent as a hospital and buried the victims of the plague in the caves. The convent was therefore founded on the place of sacrifice of the first Christian martyrs and on the places of heroic charity of the first Capuchin friars. The convent, also called the Convento Maggiore, was built on 11 October 1591. A small group of the Capuchin reform in 1525 arrived in Sardinia, headed by p. Zefferino from Bergamo, sent to found the Capuchin Province of Sardinia. The convent and the church are dedicated to S. Antonio of Padua. Today's appellation of "Church of S. Ignazio" is quite recent, due to the permanence and death of Fra 'Ignazio da Laconi (1701 - 1781) in this convent; but it is mainly following the Beatification (1940) and the Sanctification (1951) of St. Ignatius that the convent is so familiarly called by the people. The convent was born as a place of prayer and penance, a place of evangelization, with popular preachers, and of welcoming the poor: the Capuchin friars served a hot dish, "the soup of the poor", every day, to all those who came to the convent door.

Convent of the Carmelite “Ordine del Carmelo”

Immagine per l'APP
Convento dei Carmelitani “Ordine del Carmelo”
Categoria/Sottocategoria
macrocategoria
Descrizione

The rise of the Carmelite Order is linked to a group of Christian faithful (penitents, pilgrims) who, coming from Europe, settled in Mount Carmel more or less in the period of the third crusade, 1189-1192. Since the occupation of the Saracens, who had conquered Jerusalem, was underway, the pilgrims had to find safe places in the Holy Land. This is one of the reasons why they lived on Mount Carmel, belonging to the Latin Kingdom and protected by military fortresses. Mount Carmel is the last part of a mountain range in the Holy Land, today Israel. The Order is made up of two families: the Carmelite Order and the Order of the Discalced Carmelites, which in a precise historical moment split from the primitive stock. In official documents the Order of the Discalced Carmelites is called "Order of the Discalced Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel". The Carmelite Rule is the norm of life of Saint Albert, given to the Carmelites between 1206 and 1214 while he was Patriarch of Jerusalem; was definitively approved as a true Carmelite Rule by Innocent IV in 1247. The Carmelite Rule states that it is fundamental: "to live in the respect of Jesus Christ and to serve faithfully to him with a pure heart and with a good conscience".

Not only tiles. The collection of “riggiole”, kept in a workshop (now closed) in via Lamarmora (Castello district), consists of 126 artifacts, catalogued by the owner Mercedes Mariotti and is of exceptional artistic and historical interest.

These ceramic tiles adorned the city apartments in the past, with their typical designs and colours, and in particular those of Castello district. It is here that the ancient “riggiole” found worthy accommodation, in a place at the ground floor of a historic building of 1650 (protected by the Superintendency ), a short walk from the Cathedral.

In 15 years of activity, the owner has collected hundreds of “riggiole” (ceramic tiles) of the old town, many of them were discovered during the restoration works of the workshop, today a museum, with a juniper ceiling, a Moloch God and a Templar cross engraved on the walls of limestone, two Punic cisterns( if not Nuragic) within which, objects now on display in the window were discovered (two terracotta pots, old gutters, shells, old medicinal vials).
