Mausoleo di Teodorico-Esterno

Mausoleo di Teodorico-Esterno
Fatto costruire dallo stesso Teodorico nel 520 d.C. come propria sepoltura, il Mausoleo, interamente realizzato in blocchi di pietra d'Istria, si articola in due ordini sovrapposti, entrambi decagonali.

Al di sopra del mausoleo si innalza una grande cupola monolitica, coronata da dodici anse recanti i nomi di otto Apostoli e di quattro Evangelisti. Le sue misure sono sorprendenti: 10,76 m di diametro e 3,09 m di altezza. Il peso, secondo calcoli recenti, raggiunge le 230 tonnellate.

Da una nicchia si accede all'ordine inferiore la cui destinazione, si presume, fosse quella di una cappella, a pianta cruciforme, usata in origine per servizi liturgici. Al vano superiore si accede attraverso una piccola scala esterna. Qui è collocata una vasca di porfido in cui si presume fosse stato sepolto lo stesso Teodorico, le cui spoglie furono rimosse durante il dominio bizantino, a seguito dell'editto di Giustiniano del 561, quando il mausoleo fu trasformato in oratorio e consacrato al culto ortodosso.
------------------------------------------------------------
Built by Theodoric himself in 520 A.D. as his own burial place, the Mausoleum, entirely made of blocks of Istrian stone, is divided into two superimposed orders, both decagonal.

Above the mausoleum stands a large monolithic dome, crowned by twelve handles bearing the names of eight Apostles and four Evangelists. Its measurements are surprising: 10.76 m in diameter and 3.09 m in height. The weight, according to recent calculations, reaches 230 tons.
A niche gives access to the lower order whose destination, it is presumed, was that of a chapel, with a cruciform plan, originally used for liturgical services. The upper room is accessed through a small external staircase. Here there is a basin of porphyry in which it is presumed that Theodoric himself was buried, whose remains were removed during the Byzantine dominion, following Justinian's edict in 561, when the mausoleum was transformed into an oratory and consecrated to Orthodox worship.
