San Leonardo de Siete Fuentes is an originally Romanesque church in the village of the same name near Santu Lussurgiu in the province of Oristano in Sardinia .
San Leonardo, a Romanesque church from the 12th century, is located under ancient, gnarled holm oaks and poplars . The almost windowless exterior consists of moss-grown, porous trachyte , all around are portal arches and a decorative frieze. The interior is gloomy, unadorned and has arches and a wooden ceiling. The church was later rebuilt in a Gothic style and in the 13th century a monastery hospital of the Jerusalem Order of St. John was added.
Only a few houses and well-kept villas stand around the church in the dense deciduous forest on the slopes of the Monte Ferru volcanic cone . Mineral water gushes from Siete Fuentes (Seven Springs) . Water canisters are sold on the street to fill the valuable liquid, which is said to have healing properties. A large mineral water factory has settled here. In June, the most important horse show on the island is held in San Leonardo .
