Twelve Apostles basilica, First Romanesque church building in Lodi Vecchio, Italy.
The Twelve Apostles Basilica features a three-aisle layout with substantial pillars topped by Romanesque capitals carved from stone and dual mullioned windows.
Originally constructed between the fourth and fifth centuries, the basilica underwent significant renovations during the Romanesque period and received elevation in status in the early 1300s.
The interior walls display early 14th-century frescoes by the Master of St. Bassianus, including depictions of four chariots pulled by oxen representing local cattlemen.
The basilica, located at Via Basilica San Bassiano in Lodi Vecchio, maintains regular visiting hours and serves as an active place of worship for the community.
The brick facade culminates in five distinct pinnacles and incorporates a hidden representation of a cobbler at work within its decorative elements.
