Lanusei Cathedral has been known as a parish church since the 16th century. The testimonies of Monsignor Melano in 1797 and Monsignor Navoni in 1822, both Archbishops of Cagliari, denounce the serious degradation in which the church is situated. The situation became so serious that by the time restoration work began in 1860, the church had not been in use for some time.

Further work was carried out on the church in 1927 when the diocesan seat of Ogliastra was transferred to Santa Maria Maddalena in Lanusei.
