Church of Saints Quirico and Giulitta

The Church of Saints Quirico and Giulitta is a religious building located in Cargeghe, a town in northwestern Sardinia. Consecrated to Catholic worship, it is the seat of the parish of the same name and is part of the archdiocese of Sassari.

Built presumably between the 15th and 16th centuries in late Gothic style, it has, over the centuries, undergone numerous modernizations. Some of the side chapels still retain their original vault structures. The bell tower, erected between the 19th and 20th centuries, struck twice by lightning, was rebuilt using material removed from the site of St. Peter's in which the ruins of a church subsisted.

Of particular value are the paintings preserved in the church including The Holy Family, a work by the Florentine exile Mannerist Baccio Gorini presumably from the year 1588, currently kept by the Sassari Superintendency and described, among others, by Antoine-Claude Pasquin known as Valéry, passing through Cargeghe in 1834, in his Voyages en Corse a l'ile d'Elbe, et en Sardaigne. Another work of note is the 18th-century Madonna Enthroned and Saints possibly attributable to the Pavia painter Marco Antonio Maderno mentioned in parish records in those same years.
