Barchessone Vecchio, National heritage farm building in San Martino Spino, Italy.
The Barchessone Vecchio stands as a hexadecagonal structure with two floors, featuring an octagonal upper level and a central supporting column.
Built in 1824 for horse breeding, the building served as a military equestrian center from 1883 to 1954, housing thousands of horses during both World Wars.
The building earned the name 'Basilica delle Valli' due to its architectural resemblance to early Christian churches in the Mirandola valley region.
The ground floor functions as a conference and exhibition space, while the upper level contains an environmental education center for public activities.
Three concentric series of pillars arranged in a corona support the structure, with herringbone-patterned terracotta brick flooring throughout the building.
