The cathedral was built in 1835 and consecrated in 1873. The building has a neoclassical facade with three brass portals in which biblical episodes and Sardinian stories are engraved. On the predominant pink color of the building, white decorations stand out. On the lintel, also pink, is the inscription Deiparae virgini a nive sacrum (Sacred to the Virgin of the Snow). On either side of the elevation stand the distinctive twin bell towers with two clocks. The interior consists of a vast barrel-vaulted nave, three large chapels and concluded by apsidal transept.
The chancel is raised, equipped with a wooden choir and connected to the nave by a marble staircase. Among the treasures housed in the cathedral are the Dead Christ and a canvas attributed to Alessandro Tiarini, an Emilian painter of the Carracesque school, active in the late 1500s and early 1600s.
