The parish church of San Leonardo, located in the old centre, was built in the 15th century in Gothic style. As it was extensively enlarged and modified throughout the following centuries, it currently appears in a combination of Gothic-Catalan, Aragonese and Renaissance features. Among other beautiful items, the 17th-century chapel of Santa Maria is adorned by a triumph arch and small columns in Romanesque style, supported by lions.
The most recent religious building is the church of Sant’Ignazio, built in 1971 and consecrated in 1977. Above the altar rises a wooden, life-sized Crucifix, created by Ferdinand Stufflesser of Ortisei, from South Tyrol.
The rural church of Santa Maria makes part of a shrine located outside the inhabited centre, on the confluence of Leni and Mannu watercourses. The edifice was built on the ruins of a Nuragic structure (Nuraghe of Santa Maria) dating back to the 2nd millennium B.C., which later became a Roman temple. Earlier references to the small church date from 1089; it was rebuilt upon the vestiges of the ancient one in 1778, to be then restored in 1955. During the execution of works, a number of items and coins were unearthed, confirming the several frequentation ages of the site. The structure has got a single nave and a wide, external porch along its sides.
Among other religious buildings is the small church of the Angel, of the 16th century, to which the Museum of religious memories and traditions is annexed, and the church of San Sebastiano, now deconsecrated and turned into a venue for public events.
