La catedral de Sassari y la arquitectura religiosa en Cerdeña entre los siglos XVI y XVIII

Resum

This research has tried to analyze the different phases constructions of the Sassari cathedral and in particular the realization of the façade between the end of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century. This wide arch chronological framework has allowed for a broader reflection on the changes of language and various architectural projects on the island through the complex political and economic conditions that followed centuries. We have analyzed the transformations carried out between the 15th and XVI, as much of the convents as of the dioceses and parochial churches, passing through those that originated under the rule of Philip II. Subsequently, we have devoted part of the work to the study of changes that took place in the 17th century Sardinian architecture, confronting the cathedral of Sassari with other buildings made contemporaneously in territory. We have suggested that the cathedral of Sassari played a role important that has allowed us to build a picture as complete as possible on the Sardinian panorama, linking it to other territories of the Mediterranean. Finally, we have devoted an in-depth analysis to the the facade of the cathedral of Sassari, which offers a particular interest in as for structural, formal and decorative solutions that were adopted, above all, because it leads to reflection on the origin and assimilation of models from the outside in the regional context.
