Impressive centuries-old olive tree just outside the town of Soddì

In the Boroneddu area, the novenary stands on the ruins of the Judicial villa of Orene, the earliest records of which date back to the 13th century. The church was rebuilt around 1600, as its style suggests. Around the church are the characteristic "muristenes" to house the novenants.

There is a drinking fountain near the church.

The sacred building was dismantled in the 1920s and rebuilt block by block upstream from the lake, along with the new village houses, while the 'old Zuri' lies underwater, except to reappear in the driest periods.

In 1857, Giovanni Spano published an article that included a graphic overview of the monument. The canon describes and interprets the sacred well in a rather convoluted manner: it classifies it as a nuragic structure, but is unable to identify its true function, considering it a prison due to its similarity to other findings. In 1860, La Marmora, in his Itinéraire, praised the monument and compared it "to the Treasury of Atreus at Mycenae, Greece, described and illustrated by James Stuart." In the early years of the 20th century, other sacred wells in Sardinia were investigated: Antonio Taramelli, an archaeologist of the first half of the 20th century, finally divined their function. His work is rounded out by Raffaele Pettazzoni, who, in his book on the beliefs of the ancient Proto-Sardinians, describes the cult of water, also drawing comparisons outside the island.

«The country church of St. Christina, located in the territory of Paùli-Latìno, a quarter (4 km) from this town, also belongs to this priory (of Bonarcado), while it is two hours from Bonarcado. Nearby there are some casipole for the novenanti who compete there on the first of May. The main festival falls with great frequency on the 10th of the same and a pious procession to the fountain named after the saint, which has a peculiar shape and structure. On July 24th there is a memorial day on which the glorious death of the same is commemorated.»

The Nuragic Sanctuary of Santa Cristina is an archaeological area located in the municipality of Paulilatino, in the province of Oristano, in central-western Sardinia and in the southern part of the Abbasanta plateau. The site takes its name from the country church of Santa Cristina, which is located nearby.
