A JOURNEY THROUGH ROMANESQUE
Romanesque itinerary in north-western Sardinia
One of the most interesting Romanesque itineraries in Sardinia is centred on two churches of a great beauty and evocative power. The first, the Santissima Trinità di Saccargia, is found in the countryside of Codrongianos. Among the most well-known in the panorama of the island Romanesque, it is enriched by a cycle of frescoes of medieval age that make it almost unique. The second one is the basilica of San Gavino in Porto Torres, the largest Romanesque building in Sardinia. The territory hosts more noteworthy monuments, such as the Santa Maria del Regno, palatine chapel of the ‘Judge’ of Ardara, and the San Pietro di Sorres, in the countryside of Borutta, a former cathedral, now a Benedictine monastery provided with a laboratory specialized in the restoration of ancient books. Finally, a few buildings of minor size or importance, yet equally significant with reference to the knowledge of the territory, are Santa Maria di Contra in Cargeghe and Santa Croce in Usini.
