Lonely Planet review for Ghetto degli Ebrei

The area around Via Santa Croce was once the Ghetto degli Ebrei, the synagogue standing where the Chiesa di Santa Croce now looms (currently under restoration). Under Spanish rule the entire community was expelled in 1492 and today nothing much remains except the name, applied to a Restored Former Barracks. It's now a good place to catch temporary art and photographic exhibitions.

    Watch for changing art exhibits

    saraharding recommends this,

    This is an interesting and historic (though small) part of town with beautiful architecture. It got even more interesting since they opened one of the main buildings as a traveling exhibit space. This past summer (2010) it hosted a great exhibit of Chagall's Biblical lithographs. If you're in Cagliari, it's worth checking to see what's on display.
