The Church of St. Lussorio Martire stands in the countryside between Nuraminis and Serramanna. The building dates back to the 17th century and is erected on a pre-existing early Christian sacred area, on the spot where according to tradition the military contingent that led the saint to martyrdom during the persecution of Emperor Diocletian in 304 AD stopped. It is actually the cultic remnant of a medieval village called San Lussorio di Nuracesus. The building has very simple architectural lines: a gabled structure and a quadrangular facade of flat-ended exposed stone, with a small bell gable in the center. On the front elevation is visible a large open loggia on the sides and outlined frontally by a series of three round arches in red bricks called “sa lolla” in Sardinian. Above the lintel of the main entrance is a small window in the shape of a Greek cross. While under the loggia and around the small church we find the traditional “impedrau.”
