The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Graces, originally a Benedictine abbey and since the 15th century a convent of the Franciscan Friars Minor, is one of the oldest religious places in Sassari; it currently also houses a retirement home and is the seat of the Gremio dei Massai Agricoltori. The complex, although valuable from an external and especially internal architectural point of view, is not particularly well-kept and the large space it overlooks (ennobled - no one knows for how long - by a centuries-old oak tree) is becoming a desolate parking lot for cars and campers. Even the friars seem reduced to a sparse and not very healthy presence. But religiosity at the city level - and not only - resists through regularly celebrated masses, religious ceremonies or anniversaries and demonstrations of popular devotion, especially in spring.

Congratulations for the always splendid photos!

The town of Baddimanna is located on the northern outskirts of Sassari, adjacent to the Monte Rosello district and stretches eastwards over a hilly area, connecting to the hills of Filigheddu and Monti Bianchinu through a network of local roads. In the heart of Baddimanna there is the Park of the same name, which constitutes one of the largest green areas in the city: it extends for around ten hectares and is home to a pine forest, in which there are also other species such as mastic and various spontaneous flowers. Created about seventy years ago following a devastating fire, the Park has undergone progressive degradation which has made it less usable for the population; but in the 1920s the area was redeveloped, suitably equipped and made usable for citizens. The park named after Baden-Powell, founder of Scouting, is equipped with various picnic facilities with wooden tables and benches, waste collection baskets, children's games, a dog area and a cycle-pedestrian path; there is a kiosk bar and a restaurant. Furthermore, inside the park there is a monument dedicated to the soldiers of the Sassari Brigade. It is located in via Prati and the entrance time varies from 9am - 5pm to 9am - 9pm depending on the seasons.

It is a single tower nuraghe in good condition, the only one in the area accessible from inside. It reaches a maximum height of 5 meters.

The hypogeum of Sas Puntas is one of the most important "architectural perspective" hypogea in Sardinia.

Also known as Santa Maria del Cimitero or Madonna de s'Ena frisca, the church of Santa Maria is run by the brotherhood of Santa Croce, from which the alternative name derives. The church, located at the beginning of the village of Usini, was built to replace a small Cistercian chapel from 1154, between the 12th and 15th centuries. The church was built near a spring ("Ena frisca") as a rest stop halfway between the religious centers of Nostra Signora di Paulis near Ittiri and the monastery of San Pietro in Silki in Sassari. Over time it underwent various additions and stylistic changes ranging from Romanesque to Gothic-Catalan. The building, in limestone and with a single nave plan and an apse to the east, has a simple gabled façade enriched by a cornice that delimits the pediment, blind arches and an architraved portal surmounted by a lunette; later, the transept, ogival elements and the bell tower were added. The interior has a barrel vault and three side chapels; noteworthy are the altars, in particular the main altar, in Baroque style, in polychrome wood, and a magnificent wooden pulpit from the 18th century.
