The church of St. Antiochus stands on the ruins of a nuraghe, traces of which were found during the construction of a building near the hill. It currently measures 12 meters x4 x5 following an extension and restoration that took place between 1855 and 1858. During this extension, the facade was redone with tail ashlars derived from the nuraghe “San Pietro.” A clear demonstration of this can be seen in the “Cycladic relief” preserved in a ashlar on the left side of the same facade, which may date back more than 2,000 years BC. Two white limestone corbels, of Romanesque type with palmette and circle reliefs, belonging to the side door, which was blinded in the last restoration, may suggest its origin between the last period of the 12th century and the first half-century of the 13th century. Inside there are five common tombs arranged symmetrically at the foot of the altar. These graves constitute one of the reasons why this little church is so dear to the people of Mogoresi.
