San Nicola di Trullas

The Romanesque church of San Nicola di Trullas is located north of the road from Semestene to Pozzomaggiore in the province of Sassari in Sardinia .

history

The cubic building of the Camaldolese was completed in 1114 and probably comes from the same builder as Santa Maria del Regno in Ardara . The single-nave building with the high apse has a cross vault and triple pilaster strips inside.

The archaic exterior has deep arched windows with stepped walls and a stilted arch over the broad architrave . The dazzling colonnade in the upper part of the facade confirms the artistic rank and originality of the church. The portal lunette and the pillars of the blind arcades are not independent elements, but rather massive pillars protruding roughly from the masonry. This motif does not appear in the Tuscan-Lombard churches until the second half of the 12th century. An Arabic element appears in the ornamentation of the architrave of one of the south windows.
