Amid the flat plains of Sardinia, Italy, stands a well-preserved nuraghe. Next to it, sits a small Romanesque-Byzantine church with mysterious origins. It’s not clear when exactly it was built or by whom. It is at least 1000 years old, and has served several purposes throughout its life.
Besides employing stones that are clearly recycled from the older surrounding structures, possibly including the nuraghe itself, the church has undergone several renovations. Don’t expect fancy mosaics or golden details, as the inside of the church is extremely minimalistic.
