Basilica Autarena di Fara Gera d'Adda, Church building in Fara Gera d'Adda, Italy.
Basilica Autarena is a church in Fara Gera d'Adda with a single nave and polygonal apse. Its exterior walls feature flat pilasters connected by semicircular arches.
The church was founded in the 6th century by King Authari and was originally dedicated to Saint Alexander. A royal document from 883 confirmed this dedication and recorded its importance.
The building's name honors King Authari, who established it in the 6th century as a sign of his authority in the region. Visitors can see how the brick walls and distinctive apse show the skill of Lombard craftsmen from the early medieval period.
The church is located on Piazza Roma in the center of Fara Gera d'Adda and is easy to reach on foot. The site falls under the Archdiocese of Milan's jurisdiction and is open to visitors during standard hours.
The original building had three naves but was later converted into the single-nave structure seen today. This transformation took place when it was integrated into the Oratory of Saint Felicity.
