Baunei - Santa Maria Navarrese
Santa Maria Navarrese, the church and the village, belong to the the municipality of Baunei, about 9kms east up high in the mountains (see previous upload).
Santa Maria Navarrese has grown around this church, that dates back to the 11th century. Following a legend, reported by Francesco Angelo de Vico in 1639, a daughter of the King of Navarre took refuge here in 1065, after the area was freed from "barbarian domination" of the Saracens
She then commissioned the building of a church, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta.
Excavations, undertaken in the early 1960, could prove, that a 12m long church with a small apse existed here indeed in the early times. Even a large Neolithic "cup and ring" stone was found, so that this place has been a cultural spot obviously since thousands of years.
