San Sebastiano in Sorradile
San Sebastiano in Sorradile is a Sardinian village church, which was built between 1636 and 1642, contrary to the baroque trend on the continent and the decreed style of the Spanish occupation forces, by the local builder Antonio Pinna in the Gothic- folk style.
The frame of the facade is formed by the central semicircular renaissance gable and the bent gable line at the ends. The flat-looking facade is provided with peculiar decorative and structural elements in an unprecedented way. Ox-eye windows are located in the combat zone of the barrel vault.
The interior made of pink trachyte is decorated with ornaments like a notch. Blossoms, burlesque figures, tendrils and rosettes mix with decorated coffers, flat keel arches , cube friezes and cornices with a tooth cut . Another specialty is the Sardinian-style baptismal font with a pointed roof and the figure of John the Baptist , built in 1697 .
A building of roughly the same style was built with San Mauro in Sorgono , while the Palazzo Zapata in Barumini is the only Renaissance building in the country, in keeping with the Catalan guidelines.
