The church of San Giuseppe is a relatively recent structure compared to other buildings in the town of Tempio Pausania. Its history begins in 1935, when the municipality sold the land for its construction. The building stands on a hill where in ancient times death sentences were carried out by hanging. Work began on August 31, 1947, by the will of Monsignor Morera, and lasted until the construction of the majestic bell tower in the late 1990s, which is 37 meters high and is reminiscent in its lines of that of San Marco in Venice on the left in the main prospectus.

The building, in exposed granite stone, is decorated with round arches in relief and is built in neo-Romanesque style with a hut structure. The lunette portal with arch takes up the shape of the slopes and is surmounted by an oculus with stained glass. The interior is simple and austere, with a single nave and a Latin cross floor plan. In the same square there is also the monastery of the Conventual Friars, who are entrusted with the care of the religious building.

The church is easily accessible from the city center by driving along the entire length of the ring road called San Francesco.
