Sant'Ellero, Romanesque church in Galeata, Italy
The Sant'Ellero church features a sandstone block facade with decorative columns and capitals surrounding a prominent rose window at the center.
Founded in the fifth century by Sant'Ellero, this religious structure underwent major architectural modifications around 1050, establishing its current Romanesque form.
The church crypt contains a sarcophagus adorned with crosses that preserves the remains of Sant'Ellero, making it a significant religious destination.
Located three kilometers from Galeata's center at 200 meters above sea level, the church is accessible through both a paved road and traditional mule track.
Near the church stands a commemorative column with a cross marking the location where Sant'Ellero reportedly met with Theodoric the Great.
