The aim of this paper is to study the statics of the stellar (i.e. star-shaped) vault of the church of Santa Maria del Monte in Cagliari. This church, which was built during the second half of the 16th century, is a beautiful example of Gothic-Catalan style and the ribbed stellar vault is one of the most representative of this type in the town of Cagliari. A comparison between a static finite element non-linear analysis carried out with the commercial code Diana and a limit analysis performed with a method recently developed by the research team of the University of Ferrara is presented.
