The Pulpit of Charles V, from the destroyed church of San Francesco di Stampace in Cagliari and currently in the entrance porch of the church of San Michele in the same neighbourhood, is an emblematic example of medieval art, in marble, in which classicistic forms still late Gothic styles are combined in amalgamation with mannerist ones.
In the Pulpit there is engraved the celebratory memory of the emperor Charles V, who, in 1535, chose Cagliari as the starting point of the expedition against the barbarians of North Africa.
