Saint Nicholas's Church
It is the only example of Romanesque construction made of red bricks in Sardinia.
The little Church of Saint Nicola was probably built in the first or second decade of the 13th century by the Pisani, at the foot of the Quirra's Castle Mountain.
With a single nave, the church, simple and refined in its appearance, has a rectangular plan with a semi-circular apse.
The facade has a gate with a full-centre arch, and it is decorated, same as the sides of the building, with a sequence of hanging arches; the top is surmounted by a bell tower with ogival light.
