The church of S. Vittoria is located in the present historic center, an area around which the urban agglomeration took shape.
Built in the 19th century in 18th-century style, with the typical architecture of Gallura churches.
Entirely built with exposed granite ashlars it insists on the same site that had housed an earlier place of worship, now degraded and having become insufficient for a population that was constantly increasing in population.
During the excavation for the construction of the new church, a bronze enkolpion, a small pectoral cross of Middle Eastern origin, probably Syrian, dating from between the 6th and 7th centuries AD, was found, of which only the front part is preserved, where the crucified Christ is engraved with a fine point.
Blessed with solemn mass on August 13, 1899, the bell tower was built in 1901.
Over the years it was provided with sacred furnishings and there were several restorations, in 1922, 1961, 1994, 1996 until the last one in 2007 which saw the inclusion, as required by the Second Vatican Council, of the liturgical fires: Altar, Ambo and Celebrant’s Seat, all made of a candid Greek marble.
Once all the necessary elements had been provided, the Church was Consecrated and Dedicated to St. Victory on December 9, 2007 In 2009 the Baptistery was added, also in marble, and the triptych of St. Victory, pictorial images in the Byzantine style; the icon of the Good Shepherd located last year in the niche behind the Seat of the officiant is made with the same technique.
