San Severino abate, Romanesque church in San Severo, Italy.

The church features a single nave arranged in a Latin cross layout with limestone blocks forming the medieval lower section of the facade.

First documented in 1059, the church underwent major transformations, including a reconsecration in 1224 and reconstruction after the 1627 earthquake.

The interior holds multiple altars of different styles, including a Venetian school painting of the Madonna of Constantinople and carved wooden choir stalls.

The church maintains regular religious services and houses five historical bells, with the largest one, San Severino, dating from 1766.

The asymmetrical architecture includes an intentionally tilted apse designed to represent a reclined head within the Latin cross structure.
