The Church of Santa Maria Ausiliatrice is one of the churches that we come across in the municipal area of Lanusei, which is part of the diocese of Lanusei, a town in the beautiful Ogliastra in the eastern part of Sardinia.
Located precisely in the countryside of the municipal area of Lanusei, the country church has a simple rectangular plan with a single nave built in granite and local stones. The roof is also very simple, in the shape of a hut, in Sardinian style with the presence of Sardinian tiles, wooden beams and the cane as an internal covering of the church. The facade of the small church, on the other hand, has a small wooden entrance door and a small round opening above the main entrance.
In front of the church there is a small square, frequented during the events and celebrations in honor of the Saint.
