The Church of Saint Lucy dates back to the late sixteenth century, as recorded in documents in the archiepiscopal archives: the first mention is in 1599 in the decree of Archbishop Monsignor Sedano.
From an original field shrine, which probably insisted on earlier places of worship, it became a chapel and cemetery, as evidenced by the numerous burials found under the floor.
The structure of the church presents a single rectangular hall without apse or chapels, with a beautiful entrance portal, oval window and small bell gable resulting from eighteenth-century remodeling in the mature Baroque style, perhaps already Piedmontese. It is made of quarry tuff. The oldest architectural parts are in the Romanesque style-an indication of an earlier Byzantine building, such as the cult for St. Lucy; the major renovations date from the 17th and 18th centuries, as the wooden roofing and facade seem to reveal.
The late 17th-century altar frieze features the symbols of the palm, book, eye, dagger, and lunar crescent. The latter would suggest the existence of an earlier cult to a Nuragic, lunar female deity also worshipped in the Punic and Roman periods. The wooden statue of the saint, restored in the late 1990s, is kept inside the church: about 85 cm tall, it depicts the martyr clad in a richly draped robe, decorated girdle and with her right hand outstretched to hold a saucer, on which were to be placed the two eyes symbolic of the saint, which are still relied on today to ask for protection for sight.
Near the entrance is preserved a Nuragic well that shows signs of three different construction phases: the first with a masonry technique involving the use of large ashlars; the second involving a portion of the cylindrical barrel made of pebbles; and finally the square-ringed summit part with pedarules, probably from the Roman period.A panel of the saint by artist Angelo Pilloni is preserved on the exterior facade, while in the square of the same name is the mural depicting su fogadoni which is lit in honor of the saint on December 13 every year..
