Tips from the Community
As the patron saint for this house of God, one does not refer, as is common in many places, to one from the large host of people revered as saints, but to the cross of Golgotha, on which Jesus Christ died for us. For those who remain in the church, I offer a short passage from the Way of the Cross meditation, which His Holiness Pope Leo XIV., prayed on Good Friday 2026 in the Roman Colosseum, for a meditative contemplation of SANTA CROCE: “You are king and reign from the cross: you do not use the apparent power of armies, but the apparent powerlessness of love, which allows itself to be nailed to the cross.

The small church of San Francesco del Monte (or del Campo) is one of the many rural churches in the Sassari area (there were once nearly fifty, but many have disappeared). It is located on a hill on the far northeastern outskirts of Sassari, surrounded by olive groves and Mediterranean vegetation. It can be reached from Monte Rosello, following Via Cabu di Ispiga from the large roundabout for about 2 km. The building dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries; the façade features two orders separated by a string course and a central portal flanked by two small lancet windows. On the roof stands an open arched structure supporting the small bell. However, its main feature is the Serlian window (a round arch flanked by two openings delimited by columns) above the portal. Inside, the single nave with a barrel vault displays a small altar featuring a wooden statue of Saint Francis with the stigmata. Around October 4th, after three days of celebrations, the Saint's Day takes place with mass, a procession, a musical band, and the blessing of the animals.
