Facts and practical information

The church of San Giuseppe Calasanzio is located in Cagliari in Piazzetta San Giuseppe, adjacent to the Elephant Tower, in the Castello.

The church is flanked by the vast complex of the former Scolopian college, which now houses the state art high school.

Construction began in 1663 and ended in 1735. In 1943, as a result of bombing, the building suffered severe damage. Restored and reopened for worship after the war, it was closed again in the 1970s. Since then, due to interminable restoration work, the monument cannot be visited.
