Located in the historic center of Orosei, the Church of Saint Anthony Abbott is a significant religious and architectural site built between the 14th and 15th centuries using volcanic stone. The church features a single-nave design and houses rare 14th-century frescoes depicting the life of Christ. It is part of a larger medieval complex that includes a Pisan-era watchtower and *cumbessias*, which are small dwellings historically used by pilgrims. The site remains a vibrant hub for local tradition, especially during January’s fire-related festivals.
