Gastro' In Quartu sant'elena

The town's patronal church is the center of a beautiful celebration in mid-September, with a costumed procession and fireworks.

The Basilica of Sant'Elena, in the heart of Quartu Sant'Elena, is an imposing church that elegantly dominates the historic center. Dedicated to Saint Helena Empress, the city's patron saint, it captivates with its majestic façade, richly decorated interior, and solemn atmosphere that invites reflection. It is one of the most important religious and cultural symbols of the entire Cagliari area. But Quartu doesn't stop there: it is a city that surprises with its rich historical heritage. Worth visiting are the Church of Sant'Agata, a small jewel of Romanesque art, and the Church of San Benedetto, simple and intimate yet imbued with spirituality. The Sa Dom'e Farra Ethnographic Museum recounts rural life in the past, with authentic settings and period objects. Quartu is a vibrant city, combining tradition and modernity, faith and culture, and deserves to be discovered at leisure. A place that enriches the soul and the eye.

Beautiful ceremony, lived with great faith
