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 church is not simply dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but its patronage bears a special suffix. Marian churches are often dedicated to her "Immaculate Conception," Nativity, or Assumption, but this church is dedicated to a prayer that was very popular in popular piety in earlier times and is still practiced today in many parishes and private households (at least among the older generation): the Rosary. According to ancient tradition, there were three versions that were meditated on: + the Joyful Mysteries + the Sorrowful Mysteries + the Glorious Mysteries Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla) added + the Luminous Mysteries.

In the Middle Ages it was part of the Giudicato of Torres, in the Curatorship of Anglona, and from the thirteenth century it was ruled by the Benedictine monks of Montecassino. At the fall of the Giudicato (1259) it passed to the Doria, the Malaspina and later (mid-14th century) to the Aragonese. The Doria built two important castles near Bulzi and Perfugas. In the eighteenth century the town was incorporated into the Principality of Anglona, first under the rule of the Pimentel and then of the Tellez-Giron, to whom it was bought back in 1839 with the abolition of the feudal system.
