Name:
The crypt of S.Mauro
Alternative name:
Pozzomauro Hill
Category:
Church, ruined church, chapel, temple
Religion:
Orthodox
World heritage:
no
Description:
The medieval rock-cut church is really in precarious conditions. Inside, two pillars support directed arcades which form a triforium. This leads to a space that was probably divided into two naves by a rocky wing. There is a dirt floor, while the cultural furnishings are completely lost. In the right nave we can still see frescoes representing seven holy figures and a scene of the Annunciation. Traces of indecipherable frescoes are on the other walls of the crypt.
