Cathedral until 1839, parish church since 1955, it was given the title of minor basilica, in 1993, by Pope John Paul II. It is dedicated to San Simplicio, the proto-bishop of the city and martyr under the emperor Diocletian.
Duration: 7 minutes
Stop At: Chiesa di San Paolo Apostolo
The building stands in the upper part of the historic center and was built on the ruins of a Roman pagan temple, perhaps dedicated to Hercules. Originally dedicated to the Conversion of Saint Paul, it was the only parish in the Olbies until 1954, when the ancient basilica of San Simplicio was reopened.

Stop At: Acquedotto Romano
The Olbia aqueduct was built by the Romans between the I and II centuries. d. C., to collect water coming from the springs of Mount Cabu Abas. Next to the aqueduct a large settling tank was built, dug completely into the stone and provided with six holes for ventilation. On the sides of the cistern there are two other smaller tanks and a water inlet and outlet. On the arches you can still see the water transport channels.
