San Leonardo

At the homonymous quarry there are two ancient roads, the first one, which is inerpid towards Canechervu, known as Santu Lionardu; the second, which descends towards Badde Ivos, called Coa de Redulas.

The massif is made of rough, medium and large calcareous stones and, at intervals, with transverse modes of elongated and more regular shape. According to oral sources, burials in dolium would be found at the quarry, indicating the presence of a necropolis and therefore of a village dating back to Roman occupation (from 238 BC).

Also some comparisons lead to date the first plant of the roads to Roman times.

They were probably duerticula, secondary roads connecting rural villages to the main road of the valley floor.

This place is named after an ancient church, of which only sections of the pavement and foundations remain.

Here was the village of Irbosa, which probably recalculated a Roman settlement (presence of the streets Santu Lionardu-Coa de Redulas and the necropolis in dolio in the quarry area). In it in the 11th century an assembly was held presided over by Judge Barisone.

The village was unpopulated in the 14th century, due to the epidemics, but the church remained active at least until 1688, when it was visited by the bishop of Sassari.

In 1843 Angius, in relation to the ruins of Muros, reported an ancient village called Tatareddu, which had for the owner of the church San Leonardo, and recorded the presence of the ruins of a large building at the level of the foundations.
