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.
