The cathedral is a mixture of Catalan Gothic and Renaissance elements, and overlooks the sea directly.
The interior is on the Latin cross plan, with a single nave with barrel vaults, side chapels and transept.
The church has a tall bell-tower, topped by a small dome decorated with majolica.
The apse, with a cross vault decorated with stars, houses the marble high altar of 1810, characterized by the church's main attraction, the Enthroned Madonna and Child, a painting of the 15th century, attributed to the Master of Castelsardo.
Also by the latter artist is a St. Michael the Archangel, displayed in the crypt, now home to the diocesan museum.
