Various churches are located in the old centre: among them is the medieval church of San Gemiliano, raised on a chamber tomb of Byzantine age. It was built around the 10th century in Romanesque style, then rebuilt in the 13th century in volcanite extracted from quarries of Serrenti. Originally, the church was dedicated to San Mamiliano, as it belonged to the monastery of the homonymous Saint from the island of Montecristo. The church hosts a marble mausoleum of Emanuele Castelvì, created in 1586 by a sculptor from Lugano, Scipione Aprile, who was working in the island at that time.
The parish church of Beata Vergine di Monserrato is the largest and main church of the village. It was probably built at the end of 1500, although the exact date is still uncertain because of a fire, occurred at the beginning of the 15th century, which had destroyed the archbishop’s archive of Cagliari. The church, which was also used as a cemetery for a long time, was built in tuff blocks in Gothic-Aragonese style. The church of Santa Margherita, built at the end of the 17th century, has got a single nave with pointed arches and a small, two-sail bell tower. The church of San Giuseppe was built in 1652 to fulfil a vow made to get rid of a massive invasion of locusts and the ensuing pestilence. It was then abandoned for some time, then reused from 1928 as a chapel by nuns, who opened a nursery school in the surroundings. The recent church of Sant’Isidoro, built between 1996 and 2000 by the parson Don Martino Murgia and a religious committee, rises at a short distance from the inhabited centre, in an area called ‘Oasi Sant’Isidoro’. In the square facing the church stands a stone statue created by a sculptor of the village. The church also exhibits a reproduction of a Campidanese house. The walls are decorated with scenes illustrating the Saint’s life.
