Old Monumental Cemetery

Enclosed within a large green space, surrounded by high walls, is the cemetery of Selargius, which, in its oldest part, houses sepulchral works of significant artistic value, bearing witness to the importance of the town and the families that have inhabited it over time. Amidst elegant cypress trees and cobblestone paths, burials alternate between graceful marble sculptures and bronze statues, the oldest of which date back to the mid-19th century. In the central driveway, in addition to a very fine sepulchral monument signed by Sartorio, there is the small cemetery church, named after St. Mary and blessed on April 2, 1866. Not far from this is the chapel of the Putzu Loddo family, whose ceiling and large frescoed Crucifix are the work of the workshop of the De Gioannes Brothers of Cagliari.
