DESCRIZIONE:
La facciata, influenzata da stili gotici, rinascimentali e barocchi, riflette un eclettismo locale.
Catturano lo sguardo i tre portali sagomati secondo lo schema rinascimentale con motivi floreali.
Il rosone in trachite rossa e un timpano con ampie lunette.
La torre campanaria si eleva al cielo per 40 metri.
È ricca di elementi di origine barocca, come le decorazioni in pietra vulcanica rossa e la cupola “a cipolla”.
La chiesa ha origini romaniche di cui restano tracce all’esterno, nel lato sinistro e nell’abside.
La navata unica è divisa in tre campate con sottarchi a tutto sesto.
Le cappelle ampliano la profondità dello spazio regalando una luminosità diffusa.
NARRAZIONE:The ‘domo de sancte Eru’ (ancient name of San Vero Milis) is documented in several acts of the ‘Condàghe di S. Maria di Bonàrcado’ (12th-13th centuries), but no source provides explicit information on the Romanesque origin of the church.
This origin can be deduced from the reading of a residual wall structure, which survived the radical renovation of the building in Renaissance forms, begun in the last twenty years of the 16th century and ended in 1604.
The renovation was the work of Agostino Carchi from Genoa and Francesco Escano from Cagliari, as stated in the epigraph on the right-hand jamb of the triumphal arch.
The head of the presbytery, located to the south-east, is in line with a section of the two-coloured right-angled face and with a similar portion of wall facing north-east.
Rows of medium-sized ashlars in sandstone and basalt rest on a straight scarp plinth, concluded by a cornice.
The scarcity of the surviving masonry makes it difficult to specify the architectural nature of the structure in relation to the Romanesque building to which it belonged, but we can nevertheless attribute the two-coloured work of fine workmanship to the craftsmen active in the Kingdom of Arborea in the first quarter of the 13th century.
The façade was made later, marked by a strong local eclectic tendency that combines Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements reinterpreted in a vernacular key with clear graphic-planar intentions.
The single-nave, barrel-vaulted hall is divided into three large bays by rounded arches resting on Tuscan pilasters.
Three chapels on each side of the nave are covered with lunette vaults: their unusual depth gives the building a great sense of space and luminosity.
As we make our way towards the next stage of our journey, the dizzyingly swirling effect of the architectural style in which we have been immersed persists.
