Codrongianos - Basilica di Saccargia
The "Basilica della Santissima Trinità di Saccargia" is probably the most important and renowned Romanesque church in the island of Sardinia.
The construction was commissioned by the "giudice" of Torres, a powerful judge. The church was completed and got consecrated in 1116. It was built, over the ruins of a pre-existing monastery, on the floorplan of a "Tau Cross" just like the neighbouring "San Michele di Salvenero". The bell tower (41 m) is some decades younger.
An abbey was founded by Camaldolese monks. The order had been founded about 100 years earlier by Saint Romuald in Camaldoli (Tuscany).
Legends tell, that the name "Saccargia" is connected to "sa acca argia" - "speckled cow", as a cow was found here praying on its knees.
The church was abandoned in the 16th century, the monastery fell in ruins and only some walls and foundations can be seen. The church was restored and reopened in the 20th century.
