Nostra Signora di Loddhusio, also known as Luddosio, Loddusio, or Madonna di Loddurio, is a place of worship located in the territory of Orosei, in eastern-central Sardinia.
Built in 1363, the building is in a poor state of preservation with serious structural stability problems. It preserves the perimeter walls and the roof of the apse. The building features a gabled facade, poor in surface members and devoid of windows or rose windows, with a small semi-circular portal.
The interior has a single-nave layout with a rectangular plan, divided into three bays and ending with a square-plan apse. Inside, the presbytery is covered with a barrel vault, lowered relative to that of the nave. In the La Marmora, the church is called "Nostra Signora d'Agosto".
As a ruin, the structure remains a piece of local history in the Orosei territory, preserving the architectural layout of its 14th-century origins.
