Basilica della Santissima Trinità di Saccargia

This church is the most important Romanesque site in the island. The construction is entirely in local stone (black basalt and white limestone), with a typical appearance of Tuscan Romanesque style. The church was finished in 1116 over the ruins of a pre-existing monastery.The church was abandoned in the 16th century, until it was restored and reopened in the early 20th century.
