The country church of S. Pietro is about 3 km from the town on a saddle between the slope of a small chain to the southwest and the hill on whose summit is the nuraghe of S. Perdu. The Church remained abandoned for over a century, and in the 1920s the parish priest Don Vittorio Cannas took care of its repair and on September 12 of that year restored its festivities with solemnity and a great concourse of people. The church, as it stands today, is the result of a restoration work carried out recently (1999). According to the elders, in the past, near the church lived a man who was called the Hermit. This one, who was the custodian of the Church, lived in solitude, sustained by the alms that were spontaneously offered to him on the occasion of the feast: the shepherds offered him not only bread, but also large quantities of meat, which the Hermit cooked in the oven and then freely distributed to the faithful present at the feast.
