What to see, according to Wikivoyage
Christ Viewpoint (Belvedere del Cristo). From here, you can enjoy a view of the town and the mountains. Also located here is the statue of Christ of the Sacred Heart (Statua del Cristo del Sacro Cuore), created by Edgardo Mugnoz. Museum of Peasant Technology (Museo della Tecnologia Contadina). The museum comprises 11 exhibition rooms housing instruments, tools, and machinery—all originating from Lussurgiu—that were used in the pre-industrial era for daily work activities.
Churches: Holy Cross church (Santa Croce). Originally dedicated to Saint Lussorio (San Lussorio), it housed his relics. A parchment discovered during a restoration dates the consecration of the altar to 15th January 1185. Don Bosco church (San Giovanni Bosco). The first church in Sardinia dedicated to Don Bosco. Our Lady of Mount Carmel church (Chiesa della Madonna del Carmine). Dating back to the period between the 15th and 18th centuries, the structure was expanded and modified in the mid-19th century, departing from its original design; the "new" church was reconsecrated in 1914.
