The Pinacoteca di Cagliari is one of the exhibition venues of the National Museums of Cagliari, an Institute of the Ministry of Culture endowed with special autonomy since 2019.
It is located in the upper part of the ancient neighborhood of Castello, inside the Citadel of Museums, built between 1956 and 1979, with the recovery of the royal Savoy Arsenal and the earlier Spanish city walls, designed by architects Libero Cecchini and Piero Gazzola.
The Pinacoteca houses and exhibits a painting collection focused on local Sardinian, Italian, Spanish, and Flemish production from the 15th century to contemporary art, spread over three recently renovated exhibition floors.
Access is through the third floor of the Archaeological Museum.
In addition, the collection also includes artifacts of liturgical production and use, displayed in showcases along the path, and plans to exhibit and enhance its collections of artisanal artifacts, such as collections of ceramics, monumental fragments, weapons, textiles, and woven objects.
