Church of San Michele, Alghero
Chiesa di San Michele
A Jesuit church at the southern end of the old town, whose dome covered in coloured majolica tiles glitters in the sunlight, making it the city's second landmark.
The Church of San Michele was built in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and its interior is Baroque, with ornate marble altars. Most striking is the dome, relaid in the 1960s and covered in yellow, green and red majolica tiles, which stand out clearly from the city walls or from the sea. The church stands at the southern end of the old town, at the end of Via Carlo Alberto, and it can be visited together with the nearby Torre di San Giovanni and the Coral Museum.
