The Holy Trinity abbatial church is located in Codrongianos which, in Medieval times, was part of the Giudicato di Torres (Judicate of Logudoro), and was a stop-over for pilgrims who from Ardara, home to the Palatine chapel, continued on to the Church of San Gavino in Porto Torres<\/p>\n
The basilica was erected on the remains of a small, pre-existing church<\/strong>, on the wishes of the judge of Torres, Costantino I de Lacon-Gunale and his wife Marcusa, who, in 1112<\/strong> bequeathed it to the Camaldolese monks. Even to this day, next to the church we can find the remains of the ancient monastery.<\/p>\n The Holy Trinity of Saccargia clearly<\/strong> evokes the Tuscan Romanesque style<\/strong>. It was entirely built with local white and black stone<\/strong> positioned irregularly in places, which gives the structure two-toned dynamics.<\/p>\n The finely decorated facade with ceramic<\/strong> basins<\/strong> and inlaid geometrical figures<\/strong>, is preceded by an ornate portico with sculpted capitals and artfully decorated arches.<\/p>\n The church has a Tau cross<\/strong> layout with a single nave and transept<\/strong> that ends with three apses.<\/strong><\/p>\n The atmosphere inside is prevailing evocative with its long nave, featuring bare walls, drawing the visitor\u2019s eye straight to the central apse which houses a rare and magnificent cycle of frescoes dating to the XII<\/strong> century, depicting Christ in Mandorla and scenes from the Passion of Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":13355,"template":"","tipologia":[1008],"categoria":[1023,1027],"tematica":[1030,1033],"class_list":["post-25332","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-chiesa-romanica-en","categoria-architectural-asset","categoria-historical-artistic-asset","tematica-architecture","tematica-art"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
