Church of Santa Croce (Usini, Sassari, Sardinia)
Highlight • Religious Site
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.

Hypogeum Sas Puntas at Tissi (Sardinia)
Highlight • Historical Site
The exterior is characterized by an exedra with a seat along its entire length and the typical stele. The oval-shaped interior shows two opposite niches and on the floor two cups pecked into the rock surface.
This tomb is defined “a prospetto architettonico”, that is, a grave of the Nuragic age, excavated in the rock (such as the pre-Nuragic domus de janas) which reproduces in the outer facade both a stele and an exedra, that are typical elements of the Giants' Tombs.
This type of grave is widespread in the territory of Sassari, but is nearly absent in the rest of Sardinia.
Access is free. But the indications are almost non-existent. You can contact the Municipality of Tissi to request a guided tour.
