Cripta allagata in San Francesco

Cripta allagata in San Francesco
Al disotto del presbiterio si trova la cripta del IX-X secolo, raggiungibile tramite una doppia rampa di scale ed avente come ingresso una piccola finestra ad arco da cui è possibile vedere la cripta senza accedervi. La cripta è a tre navate e coperta con volte a crociera sorrette da quattro colonnine con semplici capitelli geometrici. Sul pavimento, vi sono gli antichi mosaici, risistemati nel 1977; tra questi un'iscrizione che ricorda l'originaria destinazione dell'ambiente, ovvero quella di accogliere le spoglie del vescovo Neone.

Trovandosi sotto il livello del mare l'acqua invade la Cripta come fosse una piccola piscina, dove nuotano anche diversi pesci creando un bellissimo effetto suggestivo.

Dietro la finestra di accesso alla cripta si trova il marmoreo sarcofago di Neone, vescovo di Ravenna nella seconda metà del V secolo e costruttore dalla primitiva chiesa del V secolo.

Below the presbytery there is the crypt of the IX-X century, reachable by a double flight of stairs and having as entrance a small arched window from which it is possible to see the crypt without accessing it. The crypt has three naves and is covered with cross vaults supported by four small columns with simple geometric capitals. On the floor, there are the ancient mosaics, rearranged in 1977; among them an inscription that recalls the original purpose of the room, that is to receive the remains of Bishop Neone.

Being below sea level, the water invades the Crypt as if it were a small swimming pool, where several fish also swim, creating a beautiful suggestive effect.

Behind the access window to the crypt is the marble sarcophagus of Neone, bishop of Ravenna in the second half of the 5th century and builder of the primitive 5th century church.

Super, eine abgesoffene Krypta! In WInchester gibt's auch eine, sogar mit einer Statue von Anthony Gormley, leider war ich da nicht drin...

Das ist fantastisch, Gudrun.Es gibt auch rote Fische. Es scheint das Wasser geht nie weg. Ich hab die Kirche in Winchester gesucht, die ist auch toll und Gormley liebe ich.
