Chiesa di San Salvatore

The Chiesa di San Salvatore is a 16th-century church located in the village of Cabras, Sardinia. Its significance extends beyond its religious function, as it is built upon the foundations of an ancient Roman sanctuary and a pre-Roman pagan site dedicated to water worship. Visitors can descend into a well-preserved hypogeum, featuring faded frescoes, revealing the site’s long history of spiritual practice. The village itself evokes a classic Western film set, having served as a location for several spaghetti westerns. The church is particularly notable for hosting traditional Sardinian folk events known as 'cumbesias'.
