In the heart of Gallura\u2019s hinterland, the centre of Luogosanto is situated in an elevated position: like the other old towns of this region, it is characterised by two- or three-storey residential buildings made of granite, featuring protruding balconies often decorated with flowers.
\nIn the central square, you can find the cathedral of Nostra Signora di Luogosanto, a sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary and founded by the Order of St. John of Jerusalem coming from the Holy Land in 1218, when St. Francis of Assisi was still alive. In the 13th century, Pope Honorius III promoted it to \u2018minor basilica\u2019 as the first church in Gallura to receive this honour; in the 18th century, instead, it was awarded the privilege of the Holy Door, which is opened to pilgrims every seven years for twelve months. Since 1970, the cathedral also features a bronze door by Luca Luchetti.
\nNowadays, the building features a granite fa\u00e7ade, while the interior is entirely decorated with mural paintings made immediately after World War II.<\/p>\n

It is the first Franciscan church of northeastern Sardinia and safeguards the Regina di Gallura (\u2018Queen of Gallura\u2019).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1675696617041{margin-top: 80px !important;margin-bottom: 120px !important;}”]
