Porto Torres - San Gavino
The Roman colony of "Turris Libisonis" existed already in the first century, where now is the town of Porto Torres. This even was a bishopric seat from 489 until 1441, when the see was moved to Sassari.
Two older basilicas, dating to the 5th – 7th centuries, built over the tomb of Saint Gabinus, a local martyr, existed - and got replaced by this large building in the 11th century.
The church was built by Pisan masters and got consecrated in 1080.
The main portal is Gothic and was created in the 15th century. Some scholars see spanish influence.
This is would be no surprise. The Aragonese had conquered the area in 1323 and stayed here for about 150 years. For the town this was a time of decline, most inhabitants moved inland to Sassari.
