The Church contains the statue of the patroness of Sardinia that the sea would have returned in a box in the 13th century. If not interested in the religious aspect, you can go and see it for the story that accompanies it and the sea view from the top of the staircase leading to the basilica.

la chiesa di per sé non mi entusiasma se non per la posizione e la maestosità. Mi è piaciuto molto invece il museo del santuario dove sono conservati gli ex voto. Si accede da un bel portico quadrato ... more »

the Church itself is not my thing if not for the location and the Majesty. I loved the sanctuary Museum which houses the ex-voto. It is accessed by a nice porch square with a fountain in the middle and are model ship made with matches, small masterpieces, a nice sorpresa....il payment is optional, or rather you leave an offer

The origins of this church date back to 1324 in order to offer spiritual assistance to soldiers engaged in the siege of the city. The statue of Virgin Mary is housed in the splendid sanctuary (City Tour Cagliari). The driver of the tour bus was nice enough to slow down so we, tourists can take a good shot of the church.

Il principale Santuario Mariano della Sardegna e uno dei più importanti in tutto il mondo, poiché è stato visitato da ben quattro Papi: Paolo VI, Giovanni Paolo II, Benedetto XVI, Francesco. Si venera una statua prodigiosa della Madonna detta di Bonaria, giunta dal mare dentro una cassa che ancora viene conservata. L'immagine è in legno, in estofado de oro; la Vergine, in atteggiamento regale, tiene sul braccio sinistro il bambino Gesù, mentre nella mano destra una candela accesa. Numerosi ex-voto, soprattutto legati al mare, sono custoditi nei vari ambienti. Una preziosissima collezione di oltre 150 modelli navali di varie tipologie e dimensioni dimostra la popolarità di questa Madonna tra la gente del mare. Due sono le chiese: una più piccola ed antica risalente al 1300 viene detta Santuario ed ha al suo interno la statua originale; la chiesa più grande (basilica) è più recente e vede celebrarsi i più importanti eventi della chiesa di Cagliari e di tutta la Sardegna. Se il visitatore ha tempo e interesse ci sono varie cose insolite e curiose da vedere.

The main Shrine of Sardinia and one of the most important worldwide, since it has been visited by four Popes: Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis. You worship a statue of our Lady of Bonaria, now known as prodigious from the sea in a case that is still preserved. The image is made of wood, in estofado de oro; the Virgin, in Regal attitude, keep the left arm the child Jesus, while in his right hand a lit candle. Numerous votive offerings, especially related to the sea, are preserved in various environments. A precious collection of over 150 models of various types and sizes proves the popularity of this Virgin with the sea peoples. There are two churches: a smaller ancient dating back to 1300 and is called the Sanctuary and has within it the original statue; the largest church (basilica) is newer and see celebrated the most important events of the Church of Cagliari and Sardinia. If the visitor has time and interest there are various unusual things and curious to see.
