He was initially entrusted with persecuting the Christians and then converted to Christianity himself.<\/p>\n<p>The area where the current-day church of Sant\u2019Efisio stands, acted as a freight yard operational as far back as the VIII century B.C., also used by the Romans and Phoenician-Punic people.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the <strong>burial inscriptions<\/strong> from the IV-VI centuries are proof that, in memory of the martyr, there was probably a Christian cemetery somewhere in this area.  There are, however, few remains of the ancient Christian building, probably incorporated into the current-day one. In particular, in the area below the domed structure which emerges from the floor is a form of recognition of the early Medieval <strong><em>martyrium<\/em><\/strong> of the saint.<\/p>\n<p>The current-day structure is the result of numerous interventions. The <strong>central nucleus<\/strong>, in <strong>pre-Romanesque style<\/strong> pre-dates 1089; the year in which the judge of Cagliari, Costantino Salusio II donated the church to the Victorian Monks of Marseilles.<\/p>\n<p>Its sturdy and austere appearance is highlighted by the <strong>absence of ornaments<\/strong> both inside and outside the building, which has a three-sided longitudinal <strong>nave<\/strong> and a semi-circular <strong>apse<\/strong>. The <strong>facade<\/strong> is concealed by an atrium with portico dating back to the XVII-XVIII centuries, while the left side houses the sacristy and other parts of the building used by the confraternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2559,"template":"","tipologia":[979],"categoria":[1023],"tematica":[1030],"class_list":["post-29213","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-chiesa-en","categoria-architectural-asset","tematica-architecture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Church of Sant&#039;Efisio - Idese<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/idese.cultura.gov.it\/en\/place\/church-of-santefisio-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Church of Sant&#039;Efisio - Idese\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The procession held each year carrying the wooden siculacrum of the saint from the church of the same name in Cagliari and another in Nora is directed towards this church.
