In the Boroneddu area, the novenary stands on the ruins of the Judicial villa of Orene, the earliest records of which date back to the 13th century. The church was rebuilt around 1600, as its style suggests. Around the church are the characteristic "muristenes" to house the novenants.

Located in a wooded area with a picnic area, it could also be useful as a shelter thanks to the covered veranda. There's a fountain nearby (I'm not sure if the water is drinkable). The building is located along the road leading to the characteristic Truzzalla lookout.
