The church of Santi Lorenzo e Agata in Rossura, like many others, stands in an exposed location high above the Leventina Valley. A Way of the Cross with painted chapels surrounds the church and a small cemetery is also part of the harmonious complex.

The first documentary mention of the single-nave church dates from 1247 and was restored in 2006. The size of the first church was only a quarter of the current building. In the 15th century it was expanded to the choir. The current building with the polygonal choir and side chapels was built in the 16th century. The flat wooden ceiling was replaced in the 18th century by cross vaults in the nave and a barrel vault in the choir. The canopy in front of the portal on the west side and the Way of the Cross were created in the 17th century.
