Basilica di San Cesario

Majestic and solemn in its warm sheath of bricks, the Basilica owes its current appearance to the radical restoration done between 1946 and 1966, aimed at restoring the building’s original Romanesque style.

The fragment was probably from the jamb of a portal, and depicts an angel with large wings and other figures. It is difficult to date the Basilica of San Cesario, given the complex variety of its elements, and the numerous revisions undergone through time. It seems that the building was erected in two separate periods: the apse and presbytery were built first, and the nave and aisles were added later. Some scholars feel that the oldest parts date back to the Roman and early medieval ages, while others date the entire construction to the first half of the 12th century.
