Basilica of San Gavino, Romanesque church in Porto Torres, Italy
The Basilica of San Gavino features two apses on its rectangular plan, decorated with blind columns and traditional Lombard architectural bands.
Construction of the basilica began in 1065 under Duke Gonario I of Torres, with Pisan architects completing the structure by 1080.
The basilica houses the remains of three local martyrs - Gavino, Proto, and Gianuario - in ancient Roman sarcophagi within its crypt.
Visitors can explore the basilica daily from April to October between 9 AM and 1 PM, then 3 PM to 6 PM, with entry tickets costing 3 euros.
The church structure displays an unconventional design without a main facade, placing its entrance on the side of the building.
