Spanish Baroque architecture
The Chiesa San Michele is one of the finest examples of Spanish Baroque architecture on Sardinia. Originally built by the Jesuits in the sixteenth century, the church is currently home to the Military Hospital. A portico of three arches leads to the atrium, where you can see the pulpit of Charles V; here the emperor attended religious ceremonies held in 1535 before departing on his expedition to Tunisia. The octagonal interior is topped by an impressive dome.
