Church of San Maurizio (St. Maurice)

 Indirizzo: 07044 Ittiri (SS)

It is located in the countryside of Ittiri, in the area of Ochila, about 7 km from the town, near the nuraghe Sa Figu. The shrine can be dated back to the seventeenth century and it is built with limestone blocks. It is characterised by a single nave with a barrel vault and, on the outside, by a series of Romanesque arches. On the main altar it is possible to see the equestrian statue of the saint, which can be reached through two side ladders. There are also the statues of Santa Lucia (St. Lucy) and Our Lady and San Giuseppe (St. Joseph). The country church is a place of pilgrimage during the days of the feast of the saint, which is celebrated on September 22nd.
