San Vittore alle Chiuse, Romanesque abbey in Genga, Italy
The San Vittore alle Chiuse abbey features a Greek cross layout inscribed within a square perimeter, supported by four columns forming nine bays.
The abbey, established in 1001, reached its peak in the 13th century when it held jurisdiction over 42 churches and extensive territories.
The church combines both Byzantine influences and Northern European architectural elements in its central plan design and spatial arrangement.
The religious building stands near the Frasassi Caves, alongside a preserved Roman bridge crossing the Sentino River.
The structure includes an octagonal dome, a cylindrical tower, and a quadrangular tower that replaced another round tower in later periods.
