La Solitudine, Catholic church building on a hill in Nuoro, Italy.

La Solitudine is a church on the road to Monte Ortobene in Nuoro. Its marble facade is topped by a sail-shaped bell gable, and the interior has a single nave with exposed wooden beams and a semicircular apse. The walls are lime-washed and marked by pointed arches carrying the Stations of the Cross.

The church was built in the 17th century as a rural place of worship for shepherds and farmers living outside Nuoro. The 1622 date belongs to its bronze bell, cast by the bell founder Giovanni Pira and commissioned by Perdita Basigheddu, a Nuoro woman reconciled with the church in 1605 after a witchcraft trial. The 17th-century building was demolished between 1947 and 1958 to make way for Giovanni Ciusa Romagna's new church, which kept the old bell.

On the right wall lies the polished black granite sarcophagus of Grazia Deledda, who died in Rome in 1936 and was buried in Verano before her body was moved to Sardinia in 1959. Her last novel, La chiesa della Solitudine, shares the church's name. The bronze door by Eugenio Tavolara shows the Madonna della Solitudine.

The church serves as the starting point for Trail 101, which leads upward toward the Statue of Christ the Redeemer on the mountain. The path is well-maintained and offers options for different fitness levels and time constraints.

The original 1622 bell, cast by the bell founder Giovanni Pira, is kept inside the church. It was commissioned by Perdita Basigheddu, a Nuoro woman tried for witchcraft and reconciled with the Church in 1605. Three Marian engravings decorate it, including one of the Virgin of Itria.
