The Basilica di San Gavino (Basilica of Saint Gabinus) is a proto-Romanesque church in Porto Torres, Sardinia, Italy. A former cathedral, it is now a place for the veneration of local martyrs and a parish church. ==History== Turris Libisonis (Latin:''Turris Libyssonis'', present day:Porto Torres) was a bishopric seat from 489 until 1441, when the see was moved to nearby Sassari. The basilica is located in the Monte Angellu section of Porto Torres; an area where archaeological excavations have found a Paleo-Christian necropolis and two ancient basilicas, dating to the 5th – 7th centuries AD; one of which was built over the tomb of Saint Gabinus whose remains are inturred in the present church. The earliest known document mentioning the church dates to 1065. According to it, the church was founded in the early 11th century by Gonario I, ''giudice'' (duke) of Torres and Arborea, who commissioned the work to Pisan masters. The construction continued under his son Barisone I, and was inaugurated by the ''giudice'' Marianus I of Arborea and archbishop Constantine of Castra in 1080. An epigraph in the Romanesque portal testifies restoration work in the 15th century, which introduced Catalan-Gothic elements. In the 18th century the crypt was renovated to house the remains of Torres' martyrs found in 1614. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basilica of San Gavino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
