It was built in fourteenth century by Catalans, in the area were existed the Pisan tower named Lapola (ancient name of the Marina district) and the medieval Church of S. Maria del Porto. Revised in 1700, it still retains architectural Gothic elements, the sidelong chapels and baroque furnishings.

It is one of the most ancient church in the district of Marina, built in Gothic-Catalan style, and  dedicated  to the Santa of Barcellona by the Catalans, who had just conquered the city. The church was alterated different times until the costuction of the present facade, dating back to the 20th century; it presents in the interior a unique nave with a starry vault.

In 1990,during the restauration of the vestry, it was discovered  a well, with a depth of 16 metres and full of rubbles. After this discovery, there were other excavations, which brought to light a part of the ancient city, including a paved road of the Roman Era which was superimposed  on an other street of Medieval times.
They were brought to light also the remains of a temple, a collonade and different environments of the Roman Era, that later were adapted to Mediaval period.
Near to the church, there is the archeological site named “Museum of Sant'Eulalia's treasure”, where are preserved  vestments and sacred works of Sardinian artisans from 16th to 19th century.

The church of St. Elias is located in the old part of the quartier that has the same name, and known as an old fishing village. Founded in 1953, it has a modern structure, pink in the outside with a gable roof. The facade has an entrance hall with pillars at the bottom,while the top part is characterized by five-ceiling windows and an oculus of extended octagonal form. On the right side there is the bell tower with a square base, with rectangular openings on the sides of the belfry and a small spire dome, surmonted by a simple cross.

St. Ephisius Church is situated in the medieval district of Stampace and its origins date back to 430 A.D. It was built above a cave where, according to the tradition, the Saint was detained before his martyrdom.

St. Ephisius Church lies above a limestone cave, about 9 metres deep, commonly known as the prison where he was jailed before his decapitation on Nora's beach, in the year 303 B.C.
The construction of an Oratory belonging to the Confraternity of St. Ephisius, designed by the piedmontese architect Antonio Felice De Vincenti, started 1726. Then, the building was modified and adapted to a more modern style, the Piedmontese Baroque; in 1870 the ancient church was demolished and the new one was accomplished in 1782.
The façade, marked by lesenes in Ionic order, is divided into three sectors by horizontal cornices.
The inside has a rectangular plan, covered  by a barrel vault and characterized by parastades and entablatures of classic inspiration. Three chapels stand on each side, and the presbitery is surmounted by an octagonal dome.
The rich marble decoration gives the church the typical feature of the late XVIII century style. Especially the altars, like the main one by Giovanni Battista Franco, dating back to 1786, and the one in the St. Ephisius chapel, on the right side, dating to 1791. The latter houses the statue of the saint carried in procession on May 1st during the famous religious feast.
In 1798 another altar was erected and dedicated to Christ Cucified in the Confraternity's Oratory, annexed to the church about a century later.
The church houses paintings by Francesco Costa, Domenico Colombino and Sebastano Scaleta, in addition to many precious sculptures, including a neapolitan Ecce Homo from the XVII century.

The church was built in the XVII century, on the premises close to the main house of Ballero family , forming a single complex. It has an octagonal dome finely decorated , and a simple façade with a belfry in which is located the bell, date back to 1679. In the inside, it is housed a shrine of the 18th century and a hand-painted majolica floor. Inside the dome there is a fresco of the four died, probably date back to the time of Eleanor of Arborea, characterized by the fact that all the Moors look in a different direction and have their eyes blindfolded. Above the altar, we find a painting of the 18th in gold leaf, a wood and plaster cross and a statue of Saint Ephisius from the same period.

The Church is dedicated to Saint'Avendrace, fifth bishop of the city. The building is located on the site where , according to the tradition, the saint was martyred. The facade is simple, with a portal surmounted by a rectangular window and a bell tower. Inside there is a single nave with pointed arches and side chapels covered by barrel vaults.

The church stands on a small subterranean environment, of rectangular form, which is accessible through a trap door in the floor near the entrance. Tradition has it that this was the cave where the bishop Avendrace tried to hide himself during persecutions , and where he was buried after his death in 87 AD .The roofing has a vaulted ceiling, and close to a wall there is a holy well believed to be miraculous.

Throughout its history, the Church underwent some renovation works and changes which make difficult to define the original dating . Furthermore, the first church was oriented in a different way, with the apse located at the point where now lies the entrance , so that the crypt was just below the altar. This fact leads us to believe that the temple was built in honor of the burial place of the saint. The crypt was modified after the restructuring in1952; it was covered with a layer of concrete for protection , causing a significant decrease in the volume and changing the original appearance.

The church, that was built in the eighteenth century, is located in via Manno, inside Marina district, over a chapel of a preexisting hospital, which during the past, was part of a convent.

On the outside, the temple is characterized by a façade with a big portal, above which there is an elaborate niche containing the statue of the saint.

The interior has an octagonal plan and six side chapels with barrel vault; the decoration is in late Baroque style, with green plasters on which stand golden stuccos. In the chancel, there is a polychrome marble altar, decorated with golden stucco too.

The Church of St. Anna is a Baroque church, located in the heart of the Stampace district, in the same place where originally there was a small temple, dating back to Pisan period. The restoration lasted approximately 33 years, mainly dued to a lack of capital.
The impressive structure is characterized by a wonderful staircase. The structure of the church is a typical exemple of Piedmontese Baroque architecture. It features two bell towers three domes of different size and height.
The interior has a single nave, very large and bright, surrounded by four side chapels. It is possible to admire a beautiful polychrome marble altar and the main altar which houses a marble statue of St. Anna.
The building was damaged and partially destroyed by the bombs during the Second World War. lt was later restored and reopened to the public in 1951.

Four pilasters divide the facade into three main parts: the central one with the arc-shaped entrance , on which stands a belfry. On both sides of the facade there are small ascending arcs that end above the entrance. The origin of the name is taken from the diminutive of Alenixedda, Aleni, that is Elena in Sardinia, mother of Emperor Constantine, who was celebrated as a true saint in the island.

The diminutive was created with the intent to distinguish two churches completely different to each other, but devoted to the same saint: the first one, which was erected on the site of S. Vetrano, and the larger one, built in the adjacent town of Quartu Sant'Elena.

The monumental church of St. Augustine was erected around 1577, in the Marina district, using a Renaissance style. Originally, the temple was built in an other location, where now it is possible to find Largo Carlo Felice street and where  St. Augustine's crypt still exists. Here, between 504 and 722  A.D, the Saint's remains were kept. They were brought from Africa,by the monk Fulgenzio, in order to save them from Vandals.

The main entrance is located in Baylle street, but there is a secondary entry connected with Largo Carlo Felice, which introduce to the vestry's yard.

The building has a Greek cross plan, with barrel vaults; at the conjunction among the four arms , there is a semispherical dome. Among the internal  furnitures stand out different pictures, a golden and  wooden altar in Baroque style and  the simulacrum of St. Augustine.

The current church was built in 1950, after the restoration of a previous large chapel  that was destroyed during the bombing in the Second World War.

The new building is neo-Romanesque-Pisan  style and presents a façade in brick masonry clad in limestone. In the central part  is possible to see a cusp, with a central circular window, framed by sculptural decorations.

Above the main entrance there is a lunette mosaic, dedicated to the Saint.

The interior has a Latin cross plan , and is characterized by simple and essential design elements.  Inside, there are three naves; the central one is taller and wider than the aisles, separated by columns partition.
