The church of San Forzorio, in the locality of Santu Frassori, on the road linking Quartu with Sant’Isidoro, was purchased by the Perra family, the current owners, during the 1800s.
The layout is single-nave hall, closed to the east by a semicircular apse.
The church underwent several restorations, the first documented of which dates back to 1599 when, on the occasion of a pastoral visit, Archbishop Laso Sedeno, finding it almost destroyed, appointed two obrieri to restore it.
Other sources attest to remakes that took place in the first half of the 18th century and desecration in 1793 by French soldiers.
The name “Forzorio” to whom the church is dedicated, found to be absent in all martyrologies, is perhaps derived from the toponym of the locality Santu Frassori, traceable to the name Fossorio and thus to the activity of the confraternities of fossores, diggers of catacombs.
Saint Forzorio, not celebrated for more than fifty years, was nevertheless adopted as the patron saint by the category of isposus storraus (the betrothed left behind).
