The Church of San Leonardo is one of the few Romanesque churches in northeastern Sardinia, built around 1080 from granite blocks. It was still in use until the fifteenth century, as a chapel of the castle of Balaiana, with a rectangular layout and a semicircular apse. The church was renovated in 1995 and blends in well with the surrounding countryside.

Hiking
The Church of San Leonardo served as the chapel of Balaiana Castle and is one of the smallest Romanesque buildings on the island. The reasons for the interest lie in the organic and spectacular integration into the Gallura landscape and in the building material granite, which was only used in a few Romanesque churches in north-eastern Sardinia between the 11th and 13th centuries.
