The rural church of Santa Maria di Montserrat, recognized in 1999 as a sanctuary by the Bishop of Cagliari, Ottorino Alberti, has ancient origins, likely dating back to before the year 1000.It is mentioned, as Santa Maria di Gippi, among the properties donated in 1089 by Judge Constantine to the Benedictine monks of San Vittore. Situated next to the ancient bed of the Leni stream, surrounded by dense vegetation, the site has been inhabited since ancient times, as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds dating back to the Nuragic and Punic periods discovered throughout the surrounding area.The church features a Romanesque façade with a segmental arch portal and a bell gable, which also supports a beautiful stone cross. The interior, with a single nave, lacks an apse and is covered with wooden beams.Inside the recently constructed marble altar, within a gilded niche, is an ancient wooden statue of the Madonna, remodeled around the 17th and 18th centuries for ritual purposes. The altar’s furnishings are also noteworthy: six gold-plated wooden candelabras and the Gloria Cards with hand-colored engravings.Also noteworthy is the wooden box once used by the church’s caretaker, known as “s’eremitanu” (the hermit), to go to the village to collect offerings from the faithful. Outside, an elegant portico, built in the 19th century, surrounds much of the building.The restoration of the building, undertaken in several phases from 1999 to 2013 by Serramanna architect Lucio Ortu, and carried out using materials and techniques that respected the unique characteristics of the structure, has allowed the preservation and enhancement of a sacred place that holds a special place in the hearts of all Serramanna residents.Since 2008, the church has been under the protection of the Superintendency for Architectural and Landscape Heritage of Sardinia. https://monumentiaperti.com/it/edizioni/2016/comuni/serramanna/monumenti/chiesa-di-santa-maria/.
