Churches and places of worship Complesso di S.Lucifero The San Lucifer Complex dates back to the 3rd and 4th century AD and consists of three late Roman funerary buildings. In the later age, these structures were used as Christian burials. Restored in 1640, the first Sacello of the complex, preserves the empty tomb of San Lucifer from the moment its relics were transferred to the Cathedral of Cagliari. The other two sacelli called Rude and Eliano and San Lussorio, are also of considerable importance and each host the tomb of Elianus and Rudis and the martyr Lussorio of Fordongianus.

Churches and places of worship Convento dei Cappuccini The Capuchin Convent of Cagliari was built in 1591 on an ancient pagan site on the hill of Buoncammino. Under the Convent are the Punic caves transformed at the time into stone quarries to build the amphitheater. In the early years the caves served as a prison for Christians who were destined for martyrdom in the amphitheater. Originally, the Convent had a modest building for the friars and a small church with a central nave. There was certainly no shortage of the vegetable garden, which served the friars to get their daily food.
