Today (24. April) is also the feast day of:
Our Lady of Bonaria (d. 1st cent.). The BVM is the patron of a Mercedarian monastery that has existed since 1335 on the elevation of Bonaria south-east of the medieval city of Cagliari but now incorporated within that city's limits. Today's feast celebrates the arrival at Bonaria of its reputedly miraculous cult statue of the BVM and Christ Child on, according to the legend, 25. April 1370, when the monks discovered it in a large chest that on the previous day had been jettisoned along with all the other cargo by a ship caught in a storm offshore and that had washed up overnight at their site.
The statue, which has undergone various restorations and modifications from the fifteenth century through 2010, is certainly late medieval in origin. Some views:

The site was fortified by Catalans in 1324-1326 during a siege of Cagliari; when it was given to the Mercedarians they took over its chapel dedicated to the Trinity (and to the BVM?). Now called the Santuario de Santa Maria di Bonaria, most of its buildings are early modern or later. But this belltower is a repurposing of a defensive structure from the original fort:

TAN: The sanctuary's museum holds a rich collection of ex-votos, mostly with maritime themes. In addition to the usual paintings there are also ship models (such as one finds in similar sanctuaries at other Mediterranean ports):
