Also known as St. Christ’s, the oratory is located in St. James Square next to that of the Anime Purganti.\nThe facade, uncommon to “minor” churches in Cagliari, testifies to a marked taste for decorativism.\nAlthough the oratory presents itself as a unified structure as a whole, it had a rather complex genesis linked to the vicissitudes of the Confraternity that has its headquarters here. <\/p>\n\n
Built between 1665 and 1667 on an earlier hall built after the foundation of the Brotherhood in 1616, it underwent radical changes between 1770 and 1725.<\/p>\n\n
As a result of the new arrangements in the liturgy, the old altar, placed between the two doors, was dismantled and replaced with a larger and more valuable one, placed in the elevated area designated for the sacristy, and thus facing away from the entrance.<\/p>\n\n
The interior consists of a rectangular, barrel-vaulted hall with a raised chancel enclosed by a wooden balustrade.\nA strongly projecting cornice runs along the impost of the vault. <\/p>\n\n
Three niches open on the left side wall, while the entrances are surmounted by a chancel accessed by a spiral staircase.\nA grand wooden altarpiece covered with a patina of pure gold is placed at the back of the high altar. <\/p>\n\n
The church houses wooden statues of the seven mysteries of Christ, commissioned from sculptor Giuseppe Antonio Lonis in 1758, which are still carried in procession during Holy Week ceremonies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":111535,"template":"","meta":{"COMUNE":[],"note":[],"indirizzo":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"coordinates":[],"images":[],"adesioni":[],"footnotes":""},"monumento_tipologia":[679,691],"accessibilita":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"class_list":["post-101822","monumento","type-monumento","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","monumento_tipologia-chiesa-en","monumento_tipologia-religione-e-culto-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/101822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/monumento"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/101822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":101823,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/101822\/revisions\/101823"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"monumento_tipologia","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumento_tipologia?post=101822"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita?post=101822"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita_mezzi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita_mezzi?post=101822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
