Basilica di Santa Giulia, Romanesque church ruin in Bonate Sotto, Italy

The Basilica di Santa Giulia features three remaining apses and one standing bay, with sculpted capitals displaying geometrical patterns and figures.

Built in the early 12th century, the basilica received its first documented mention in a letter from Pope Honorius II dated 1129.

The capitals inside the church display intricate zoomorphic and anthropomorphic designs that reflect the medieval artistic traditions of northern Italy.

The church ruins stand within the municipal cemetery of Bonate Sotto, located at coordinates 45°39′40″N 9°34′05″E in Lombardy.

A white pyramid-shaped stone and ancient Roman urn rest atop a column near the first nave, connected to local tales about Queen Theodelinda.
