Basilica di San Simplicio

Stunning and so well keptd.Felt very peaceful

Very beautiful church. We couldn't visit it because there was the holy mass, but the building and the garden outside are very well kept

This is an eleventh century church and was, for a Catholic church, extremely low key. Built of granite and with almost no interior decoration or side rooms it was quite a shock. Normally we spend quite a while in these buildings and take loads of photos but I actually took more in the cafe we went to, just across the piazza. There is an underground car park below the Piazza and we were intending to visit the necropolis there too but it was closed.

Lovely place, the architecture is incredible, when we got there there wasn’t much people, so we could analyse in detail all aspects of the church. There is something special about churches such as this.

Old church with lots of history. It is in great condition and masses are being held in it still. It is free to enter the church, but you need to remove your hat and wear decent clothing. Nyugat-Szardinia legregebbi temploma, ma is üzemel még, tartanak miseket. Belepes ingyenes.

The granite 12th century Basilica of San Simplicio in Olbia, Sardinia, Italy, has fragments of Roman stonework embedded in its Pisan Romanesque facade. Relics of San Simplicio, martyred during Diocletian's persecutions in 304 AD, are below the altar. Medieval frescoes hang in the apse.

Beautifully preserved. Very spiritual place. Quite a simple church for its age. Nice arched features and carved heads. Amazing what structures were built with basic tool and manpower.

Sadly forgot my jacket to cover up my shoulders so I didn't go in out of respect. But still beautiful from the outside.
