Catedrale di Santa Cecilia, Cagliari, Italy Built-in the 13th century in the Pisan-Romanesque style, it later transformed the Gothic, Baroque and Neo-Romanesque style. Under the presbytery, the Crypt-Sanctuary preserves the relics of the local Martyrs. With a Latin cross plan, the interior of the church has three naves with a transept and side chapels. On the right side, into the Aragonese Chapel, is preserved a precious relic that, according to the tradition, belonged to Jesus crown, which arrived in Cagliari in 1527, with other relics and artworks stolen from various churches in Rome and the Papal apartment. A moment before its arrival into the harbor, the ship bumped into a storm. Someone knew that into the ship there was precious cargo, and driven by the conviction that the storm was the expression of divine wrath for sacrilegious theft, confessed the fact to some religious that were on the ship who, once arrived in Cagliari, informed the archbishop of what happened. 20 minutes

Junior was our guide and he did an excellent job. This stop was at the end of a two week tour, so the city wasn't as interesting as we had seen along the way. My review is more of a comparison to others. Saw some beautiful churches, even dropped by a wedding in progress and saw white flamingos just standing around. Saw a really packed beach in mid-afternoon...because they shut down a lot of shops and that's where the workers go until they open back up in the late afternoon.
