In the eighteenth century the St. Barbara Church, formerly property of the archbishop of Cagliari, was transferred to the Minori Conventuali friars in exchange of the St. Maria Church in Uta. Tommaso Polla, friar of mythical penitence, took possession of the St. Barbara Church with other friars. He was called by the inhabitants of Capoterra cure souls in the absence of other parish priests, contracted malignant fever and died in Cagliari on September 29th 1663 in the odour of sanctity.
