Tony with his partner, Tatiana, exiting the large, 13th century Cathedral of Cagliari, capital of Sardinia, during an evening guided walking tour. The Cathedral: Duomo di Cagliari, Cattedrale di Santa Maria e Santa Cecilia, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Cagliari, capital of Sardinia. The church was built in the 13th century in Pisan-Romanesque style, obtaining cathedral status in 1258. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was renovated along Baroque lines. In the 1930s it finally received the current façade, in Neo-Romanesque style, inspired by Pisa Cathedral. Only the bell tower is original. The bells are chining 8 o,clock in the evening as Tony and other members of the tour group leave the cathedral. The crypt, under the altar, is worth a visit. The bells, only capture briefly, sound delightful.
