This church, dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin: "Santa Croce"), derives its patronage from the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross largely originates from Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the Milvian Bridge in front of Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and ended the long period of persecution with the Edict of Toleration of Milan in 312). She made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel/Palestine) in the early fourth century and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross," on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Therefore, Helena is often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The Church celebrates the Feast of the Discovery, public presentation, and veneration of the Holy Cross—called the "Exaltation of the Holy Cross"—on September 14th.

This is a short stretch of road that circumnavigates the Croce mountains (683 m above sea level), a rocky peak that overlooks the town of Aggius. The view you can enjoy from here is breathtaking, it's no coincidence that the street is called the "panoramic road"!

Nuchis is a splendid municipality, belonging to the seven historical municipalities of the Gallura area. Perhaps founded in the 11th century, it still maintains its ancient charm intact. The ancient churches are of great interest, such as that of the Holy Spirit built in the 13th century which is striking for its high bell tower which soars into the blue sky.
