Consecrated to Catholic worship, the church is the seat of the parish of the same name and is part of the archdiocese of Sassari. It was built in the 19th century in neoclassical style, designed by architect Giuseppe Cominotti at the behest of Archbishop Carlo Tommaso Arnosio of Sassari. The foundation stone was laid on Feb. 22, 1826, and the following year, on Dec. 30, the consecration of the church took place by the Turritan archbishop in the presence of the Civic Magistrate of Sassari. It is one of the city’s historic places of worship along with the Basilica of San Gavino. The result of an ambitious project, the church blends harmoniously into the urban fabric, distinguished by its sober but elegant style. Inside, visitors can admire the decorations and liturgical elements that adorn the room, evidence of the devotion of the faithful and the artistic sophistication of the time.
