Basilica di Saccargia
Basilica di Saccargia, Romanesque basilica in Codrongianos, Italy.
The basilica displays alternating layers of black basalt and white limestone, with a tall bell tower and three apses in its transept layout.
Built upon an existing monastery in 1116, the basilica was commissioned by Constantine I of Torres and entrusted to the Camaldolese monastic order.
The central apse contains Byzantine-influenced frescoes depicting the Pantocrator, while exterior capitals showcase detailed religious and animal carvings.
Located along highway SS 131 between Sassari and Olbia, the basilica opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with an entrance fee of 3 euros.
The name Saccargia derives from 'vaca arza' referring to a white cow that, according to local tales, visited monks daily for milking.
