== Places of interest == === Architecture === The main square of the village was created in the early 20th century by diverting the stream that crossed it. Inside it lies a church dedicated to [[Michael (archangel)|St. Michael the Archangel]], which contains paintings by Carmelo Floris in the apse as well as a crucifix painted by Franco Bussu, an inhabitant of Ollolai. The oldest part of the church is a chapel dedicated to [[Bartholomew the Apostle|St. Bartholomew]]. [[File:Costume di Ollolai.jpg|thumb|left|Woman in a traditional Ollolai dress]] Near the town centre, there is another church dedicated to [[Anthony of Padua]], where the Feast of Saint Anthony is traditionally held along with a lighting of a bonfire. A few kilometres (miles) from the village towards the valley, there lies a church dedicated to [[Saint Peter]], rebuilt in the 1970s after the demolition of a [[Romanesque church]]. In a valley surrounded by granite peaks lies a church dedicated to [[Basil of Caesarea]], built by the Basilian monks and used, after the expulsion of the Basilians, by the Franciscans. The adjoining convent was built later. === Water features === The town is abundant in water features. The most famous is ''Gupunnio,'' the source of which is in the centre of the village, and was recently renamed ''Regina Fontium''. There is also the fountain of Su Sapunadorju, and a few hundred metres (feet) from the town, Su Puthu, which was once used as a watering hole.
