The church is of recent construction, as it was built on 1 July 1959, when Monsignor Paolo Botto was bishop of Cagliari. About 2 km north of this, in an area along the SS 195 called Buerìa, stands an older country church - Santa Margherita di Buerìa.

Built with materials from the Byzantine church of the same name that stood a few kilometres away, the church was inaugurated on 25 May 1910 before the Mayor of Pula Agostino Frau and Count Corinaldi. The local population has always been devoted to the cult of St Margaret of Antioch, and the history of the church of Buerìa is their key reference.

Every year, during the third week of August, the hamlet celebrates its patron saint. The celebrations begin on Saturday, with an open-air evening mass in Piazza Giovanni Paolo II. The procession begins right after service, with the transport of the statue of the saint to the little church of Buerìa.

On the following day, Sunday, an evening mass in the church of Buerìa precedes the procession making the reverse journey to return Santa Margherita back to the parish church. During the journey on foot, which is about 2 km long, the faithful accompany the statue with prayers and sacred songs.
