Facts and practical information

The monumental complex of San Michele consists of the Baroque monumental church and the former residence, once a Jesuit novitiate in the city of Cagliari; between Azuni Street and Ospedale Street, and is officiated by the Jesuit fathers. The sacred building, because of its architectural lines, decorative apparatus and the sculptural and pictorial works it holds, represents the main testimony of Baroque and Rococo art in Sardinia. Attached to the church stood the former Jesuit Novitiate House, since 1848 Military Hospital, now the Military Department of Forensic Medicine.
