The ancient village of San Salvatore, built between the 17th and the 18th centuries, stands for one of the most important community of cumbessias (pilgrims’ lodgings) in this province. This small settlement was built around the homonymous church, erected in the 18th century over an ancient hypogeum and ever since served by its congregation. The hypogeum of Nuragic origin, dedicated to the pagan worship of waters, is accessible through a trap door opening on a staircase carved out of the living rock. The lower part of the shrine is rock-cut, too; various inscriptions and paintings, dating from the Palaeo-Christian to the mediaeval period, decorate its walls.
